Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville told CNN's “Anderson Cooper 360” on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump will fall behind Iowa voters.
“Moderates, are they coming?” Carville said. If so, it would probably help Haley. More than 60,000 people have moved to the Des Moines suburbs since the 2016 race. right? Not all of them are Republicans. But will the Republicans show up? What can you see in the suburbs around Cedar Falls and around Dubuque? On the flip side, up here and down here, these are the rural, evangelical counties where Ted Cruz defeated Donald Trump in 2016. Trump is expected to win there. If DeSantis surprises us, this is it. Dear homeschoolers and evangelicals, we are now in the preparation stage. Looking at who actually shows up in Iowa on Monday and who shows up in New Hampshire two weeks from tonight will tell us which Republicans are determined to run. ”
He added: “I'm going to take this opportunity to get even more ridiculous and predict that President Trump will underperform expectations in Iowa.” The opposition knows little about Iowa's Republican primary voters, but they appear to be fairly well organized and fairly engaged. It will be zero degrees. I'm just going to go into the game and say I think he's going to lose, I'm not going to say he's going to lose, but he might not win as much as he expected. ”
