Michael Knowles is doing a good job out in Minnesota right now at that TP event.

There’s no way they let Jeff Landry out there. My goodness you could end the entire movement. Not to mention he’ll need a booster seat

Megyn will tell all the girls to go put on makeup and critique their clothes. Might work If we are trying to lure back the mean girl sorority types.

Says the guy that thinks the Dems are coming to the middle?

I said there is a war in the democrat party in which the center left is trying to orphan the tranny left etc.

I don't know how long it will take but sooner or later the centrists will win. You are going to be wrong on this, but you'll crawl away instead of admitting it. Or you'll misquote me again.

Name and Age

Tucker Carlson - 56
Megyn Kelly - 54
Gov. Glenn Youngkin - 58
Glenn Beck - 61
Mike Lee - 54
Andy Biggs - 66
Jeff Landry - 54

Average age: 57.6

Age of Charlie Kirk over last ten years: Age 21 - 31. Avg. age: 26.

He could connect with the youth. Adults aged nearly or over 60 will not. Those are late What are they thinking? They're not going to want to debate a late-stage baby boomer or early Gen X'er.

Charlie was unique and not easily replaceable.

I'd think with the momentum this organization has, they could start Turning Point USA Charter Schools and be wildly successful. Talk about controlling the narrative and instilling patriotism and faith in the next generation. A chain of schools across the country would be perfect.

I hear you.

But understand that TPA is on the ropes.

Their generational leader and CEO is dead.

There isn’t another CK ready to roll.

Some of the biggest names in the conservative movement are there trying to keep their name and momentum going.

So do they need some of the next gen types to step up? Yes.

Are they damn lucky to have Tucker Carlson and Glen Beck out there helping them during the transition risking their lives when they absolutely don’t need to? Damn right.

I thought he did a good job as well. It was originally supposed to be a discussion between he and Charlie and Michael did a good job making it as much as a campus event that Charlie would put on. I look forward to seeing him doing more events.

Said this in another thread but Michael Knowles did a great job. He has the demeanor and the patience necessary for the town square. He has humor and is clearly very well versed and educated. Perhaps most importantly he has a strong Faith foundation

How many of their events have you been involved in the planning for?

You think maybe they know more about setting them up than you do?

It wasn’t the planning, and it wasn’t the team, that made them successful. It was the attractiveness, unflappability, positive energy, keen intellect, and masterful debating of Charlie Kirk. They are not going to find that in any substitute. The only guy I can think of who brings all of that to the table is JD Vance, and he has a day job already.

I do think they could have done better by using someone like that first TPUSA member who spoke at the memorial. He was bright, optimistic, full of energy, articulate and passionate.

Dinesh D’Souza would be a good choice, and I hope they get him for one of the events. His intellect and demeanor is perfect for this format.
