In all of these points Baris is correct and he goes into specific races where that dynamic is clear. Baris also notes the republican club generally supports the corrupt candidate who is compromised by some form financial scheme. However, where Baris doesn’t go deep enough, surrounds the issue of the DC apparatus having operational control via their black files on candidates. The perfect candidate, from the perspective of the club, is an insider who is compromised and therefore vulnerable to the influence of the DC system. It’s a long podcast, and he rambles a bit, but the larger message is accurate. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH (if you have time):
