Anyusername: “He very clearly disagrees with rashi
Rashi says only doniel
Abarbanel says even this other person”
NO! Rashi says that the Gemoro in Sanhedrin 98b can only be talking about Doniel himself (according to the opinion there that moshiach may be someone who died). Rashi DOES NOT say that there are no other maamorei Chazal that say someone else who died is moshiach.
The Abarbanel is explaining the Yerushalmi in Brochos.
They are not disagreeing because they are not discussing the same maamorei Chazal.
But… there is no Rashi anywhere in Shas that says that maybe someone else who has died could be moshiach, and that you can pick whoever you want. And you have not showed me where the Abarbanel says that moshiach can be anyone who has died other than that child mentioned in Yerushalmi. As I’ve said, perhaps the Abarbanel does say it, but no one yet has shown me where. And perhaps Rashi himself held, based on other maamorei Chazal, that moshiach could be someone who has died, but no one has shown me where he says it.
But I like the way you have abandoned your “proof” from Rashi and act as if you never quoted that Rashi as a source. Nice lubavich footwork!
And you haven’t mentioned your “proof” from the Maharsho there either…
