Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis predicts that former President Donald Trump will claim the Iowa caucuses were stolen if he loses, citing Trump’s past behavior.

DeSantis also criticizes Trump’s performance and campaign promises, suggesting that Trump won’t participate in GOP primary debates because he wouldn’t perform as well as in 2015 and 2016.

DeSantis’ comments sparked a response from the Trump campaign, which accused him of echoing Democratic talking points. (Trending: Supreme Court Delivers Historic Ruling on AR-15s)

“If Trump loses, he will say it’s stolen no matter what, absolutely. He will try to delegitimize the results,” DeSantis said.

“He did that against Ted Cruz in 2016,” DeSantis added.

Trump pushed back “even when ‘The Apprentice’ didn’t get an Emmy,” DeSantis said.

“I don’t think people are going to buy it.”

“He’s promising the same things he did in ’16 that he didn’t deliver. And now he’s just running on the same stuff again,” DeSantis said.

“You know, we didn’t get a wall. We didn’t get the swamp drained. He said he was going to go after Hillary [Clinton] and then let her off the hook two weeks after the election.”

DeSantis pressed that Trump refuses to join in the primary debates because “he would not perform the way they remember the Trump from 2015 and ’16. I think that’s the real reason he’s not debating.”

Trump is “a different guy now and I think he owes it to actually show up and answer questions,” DeSantis said.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung stated that DeSantis was “doing his best impression of a Never Trumper by reciting Democrat talking points peddled by Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign.”

“When Ron’s political career is finished in a few weeks, he can start moonlighting as a Democrat surrogate because he’s showing everyone his true colors,” Cheung said.

The Iowa caucuses are scheduled for Jan. 15, with Trump leading in polls.

In New Hampshire, DeSantis is trailing behind Trump, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie in the primary polls.
