Baris doesn't hate DeSantis as much as he hates... well... you. The DeSantis shills.
He has an understanding of the bigger picture, you just disagree with his assessment. His polling record has been good enough as far as I've seen. Voter fraud does cause a nasty 5-10 point swing.
The DeSantis Twitter space suffered technical difficulties at the start thanks to Twitter servers being unable to keep up with the large demand of people joining the space. This is a suffering from success type of problem.
Bullshit. This is a bad argument. Twitter spaces have handled millions of users before. Re-frame this as "focusing on the wrong thing". Say, "the media is trying to direct everyone's attention to the technical glitch in order to pressure politicians into thinking that Twitter and Alt-Media is a bad place to make announcements. Don't fall for the deflection."
Baris's polls are worthless and if you still believe in them I feel sorry for you.
You cannot use muh election fraud to explain away why Baris predicted emphatically that Kemp would absolutely lose. Baris said only clown Vernon Jones could beat Stacy Abrams. Jones lost a primary for a Trumpy area house seat. Vernon Jones is Baris's friend so Baris hyped him up.
You are a poster who makes some very intelligent analysis. I have even been impressed by some of your posts.
You have a blindspot with any matters concerning Trump. You live in an imaginary world where Trump is surrounded by competent people and is loved by the majority of Americans.
That is not reality.
Independents despise Trump and Trump is surrounded by grifters like Roger Stone, Alex Bruesewitz, Richard Baris and Robert Barnes.
I don't trust anything you have to say on polls since the time you told me JD Vance was carried by Mike DeWine. Especially for a seat that was already held by Rob Portman who was an Evangelical, but a Neo-Con that people were already getting weary of.
Everyone in Ohio knows DeWine is a cuckold, but they weren't going to vote for a Democratic governor or Senator at this point. He was so fucking weak that he instituted a state-wide Covid curfew that nobody followed and the police eventually just refused to enforce. It tells me you're either ignorant of Ohio politics, or you are just rationalizing. His failure in East Palestine is still outstanding, where as both Trump and Vance made it a political focus, with zero help from DeWine.

I defy you to show me where I've ever said that. Trump is surrounded mostly by people competing for attention, and then he picks what's in front of him. It's an old way of doing business when you're a real-estate mogul building towers: you get already competent people competing for your money and attention. Unfortunately, the pre-supposition for his strategy was competence by default. No one in DC wants to work with him, and most want to cut his fucking throat, so the most competent cabinet members he had either came from the military, or were named Betsy DeVoss.
Trump is loved by 50% of his own base. Most Trump supporters support him as an avatar of their will. They aren't devoted to him specifically, but they see him as the only representation of what they want in a broken system. It is a genuine populist movement. Of the remaining 50% there's a minority that are die-hard Trump-Or-Die voters, and DeSantis doesn't have what it takes to keep them.
Baris and Barnes are not grifters. Certainly Barnes isn't. He's an attorney who likes throwing punches in public because it's an avenue of the law that most attorneys are neither good at, nor interested in. However, he's known for decades that it can be a good mechanism to use political and public pressure to counter some dirty tricks done by judges and prosecutors. Sometimes Barnes is a stubborn and as mean as a mule, but that because the strategy works, even if I disagree.
JD Vance vastly underperformed RINO Mike DeWine and that is sadly a fact.
For the record I despise DeWine for his COVID policies but he performed very strongly in comparison to Vance.
The facts don't change just because we both hate DeWine.
I prefer Vance over DeWine anyday in policies but when it comes to campaigning Vance was pretty lazy. Vance would have only narrowly won against Tim Ryan if DeWine was not on the ballot with him.
If it was Vance vs Sherrod Brown, Vance likely would have lost looking at his subpar performance in 2022.
I disagree entirely with your view of Barnes and Baris. Both of these men rely on Trump staying relevant for their meal ticket. They are both bottom-feeders who will do and say anything to prop up Trump to keep their grift going.
Where you and I vastly differ is that I have no patience for clowns who are OnlyTrump.
I pretty much hate the current version of Trump we see now and yet I still will begrudgingly vote for him over Biden. I expect the same from everyone on the right. That is not asking for much. Support whoever you want in the primaries and unite for the general.
I despise the OnlyTrumpers because they are retards who will destroy our country over their misguided cultism for Trump.
I know Vance under-preformed, and I know why. I didn't even know he was running, that's how badly the Republican establishment ran the campaign. I saw hundreds of "Taxing Tim Ryan" ads, and no one said a fucking word that the dude who wrote "Hillbilly Eulogy" was running for Senate. They tried to throw the race, just like they tried to throw Boebert's race, Lake's race, everyone's fucking race. It was a purge.

You clearly don't know anything about Barnes. At this point, his biggest meal ticket is Robert Kennedy, whom he's both representing in court, and also advertising relentlessly for the Democratic nomination. This is because Barnes is not a MAGA chud. He's an anti-establishment Lefty. He has more in common with Glen Greenwald than Tim Pool, Steven Crowder, or Jack Posobiec.
Support whoever you want in the primaries and unite for the general.
I think I'm a registered Libertarian, but if I could vote, it would go for Larry Elder.

You're welcome.
This is some weapons grade coping.
