John,

Charlie Kirk was born for it. Highly intelligent. Born to debate. Physically imposing. Likeable. Known to the conservative world as a teenager. Unafraid to take the debate to college campuses where liberals had unchecked dominion over young minds. He changed some of those minds. Arguably swayed the election. He was so effective at changing minds that they cut him down for it.

I don't doubt the wife's pain, love for Charlie and religious sincerity. Nor do I doubt her determination. I wish that all of this celebration had taken place in another two weeks, giving the wife more time to come to terms with everything.

I don't think that the wife can truly pick up where Charlie left off. Large movement with massive momentum, but it may morph into something less effective, and more about social positioning than debating ideologies. More like a political party. That was going to happen anyway, but without Charlie, faster.

We'll see.
