“The public has a notoriously short memory.”

Sadly, you are quite correct.

I don’t know if she can carry on like Charlie did.

I’m thinking of Rush Limbaugh and the awful mess his widow did with his program.

Both Rush and Charlie were powerful forces of truth and delivered their messages very well. I don’t know if Ericka can do that and keep Charlie’s followers or not.

I think the difference between Charlie and Rush is that Charlie had a succession plan for TPUSA, whereas Rush was a one-man show.

When Rush died, I really didn’t expect her to carry on Rush’s legacy. He had a bazillion listeners, but was really a one-man show. I worried that didn’t seem to mentor ANYONE to take up his mantle.

Charlie is completely different, having established a machine with hundreds of young people strong in their conservatism and faith. I’ve heard some of them speak. And they could carry on his legacy. Most are in their 20s!

I predict that you will see TPUSA grow larger and more powerful now than it would have with Charlie at the helm. Nothing against Charlie, but just compare TPUSA with MAGA, which has become what it is because of the ideas it represents, not because of the one man who originated it.

Yep. Tried to listen to Rush’s program after he died, it was horrible. Also tried to listen to his replacements, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Both sound like wet rags. Turned them off immediately.

There is NO ONE who can replace Rush, his charisma, humor, loud, clear voice, bold opinions ... It’ll be five years in Feb. and no one even comes close.

Switched to Megyn Kelly - but you have to have Sirius and pay for it.
