It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

History. Since 1972, the Iowa caucuses have had a 55% success rate at predicting which Democrat, and a 43% success rate at predicting which Republican, will go on to win the nomination of their political party for president at that party's national convention. Source: Wiki

Honestly, picking Trump again is a good thing for the rest of us. We know he can lose and because of the last presidential election and his base is just getting smaller.

It's not like any Republican is a good candidate. All of them think abortion is a crime and will appoint shit supreme court justices. So give me the one I know loses because they lost before.

DeSantis is a much worse choice than trump. I would take trump over him any day of the week.

I know nothing of DeSantis outside he's running. Can you or someone share a tl;dr. It's hard for me to imagine someone worse than Trump. But then again, never thought we'd have someone worse than George W...

Desantis is basically a competent Trump. They both have terrible ideas but Desantis would be able to pull it off because he already has in ruining Florida.

It was cold AF. They didn't want to freeze. The entire Midwest....cold AF right now.

Not just the Midwest - there was one weather station in WV that was reporting a colder temp than one of the stations in Antarctica for a bit earlier this week.
