Kirk's death has left Turning Point without its most influential and charismatic spokesman and his unrivaled ability to draw huge crowds on campuses across the U.S.

Kirk was their best guy? Who is their second best guy, a bowl of pond algae? And it says huge crowds but I've never seen a video of Kirk talking to more than maybe 150 people at a college campus.

And most of the people there were there to tell him he sucks and because on the off chance something awesome happened, they didn't want to miss it proven-wrong-2

his purpose wasn't to actually have crowds or convince anyone or any of that other shit, it was to create the image of youth outreach and then sell that image to old chuds

They replaced Kirk with his wife but I think that basically goes against their misogynistic principles

She'll have great success doing the church circuit if she wants though. Evangelicals would eat up donating money to her after a church speech with plenty of tears. At least for a while. They'd get tired of hearing from her sob story within a couple years and the donations would start to thin out but right now she could go around touring mega-churches and collecting some decent change in "donations".

It's the thing where they aren't actually counting or comparing numbers to actually popular creators.

That said, I'm sure his events were more popular and attended than whatever social media hacks the Democrats were using.
