DeSantis says the polls are not predictive in Iowa, where who stays for a 3-hour caucus determines the winner. And Drumpf will continue being a neverending election denier (nelde), just like in 2016 when nelde Drumpf accused Cruz of fraud.

Trump accuses Cruz of ‘fraud,’ calls for new Iowa election, Feb 1, 2016
“Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong any [sic] why he got more votes than anticipated. Bad!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning... He followed up with an ultimatum: “Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified,” he tweeted. Trump said later Wednesday that he’ll likely sue. “I probably will; what he did is unthinkable,” he said during an interview with Boston Herald Radio.

As I recall, Trump didn't win the first few primaries. As your link said, Cruz won Iowa. And maybe another one? And I think someone else won another state (Rubio or Kasich?). Trump didn't really win much until Super Tuesday. Super Tuesday, I think Cruz and Trump both won states, but Trump won more.

If the field hadn't been so crowded (over 10 candidates), maybe Trump wouldn't have done as well?

Flying from memory here.
