Most of my comments never get any attention because I'm posting during the night shift on hours-old posts, but here goes. I've been thinking about it and it makes sense. That battle would not have been won regardless. Barnett was definitely far more MAGA, but Trump did not use her as a pawn and instead he chose Oz as a pawn. But why?

He chose to endorse a pro-abortion, phony TV celebrity "doctor" and Muzzrat against a Monster Squad meatsack with a malfunctioning brain. The way I see it, if he had chosen the better candidate, her loss would not have been noticed much. But putting Oz in the picture was like shining a national spotlight on how shitty the situation is. The seat would not have been flipped red anyway, so he may as well use a high-profile dickbrain as a pawn to show the country how stupid, loathsome, and pathetic the Decepticons are.

They even had a "big" rally for Fetterman with both Bathhhouse Barry AND Mr. Sniffy. They had to put up a big curtain to cut the stadium in half, and even with that the upper seats were not used much at all. That was the best they could muster in PA. He was diverting their energy on an election they were gonna steal anyway while there were victories elsewhere.

The way I see it, Trump spared Barnett and used Oz as a pawn instead. Let Oz waste his money on a doomed election. But since normies know Oz, they might pay attention and saw him lose to a braindead cross between Uncle Fester and Commander Kane.
