Good reading for Bitter.
Maybe he will admit that Charlie Kirk might have been something more than a “good husband”.

If in death Kirk can engineer a reconciliation between Trump and Elon it would be a great boon for conservatives.
Republicans need Elon’s financial/logistical support, and Elon needs the government’s support for a lot of his ventures.
“When Elon Musk and President Donald Trump’s feud reached a fever pitch, Charlie Kirk desperately wanted the two to put their fight to bed and make up.
“I know both these guys … I am hopeful, optimistic and will do everything I possibly can to try and bring this back together,” Kirk told Megyn Kelly in June, adding that he expected them to make up.”

More about the “good father”…
“What we saw at Kirk’s memorial service in Glendale, Ariz., on Sunday was huge in so many ways. First, there was the sheer size of it. “Five O’Clock Somewhere” producer Jim flew in from Rhode Island for the memorial. He arrived at the stadium around 5:40 a.m., and the lines were already insane. He sent me several pictures from the early hours of the day and — I kid you not — it looked like people gathering for a rock festival. All of this was going on four or five hours before the event was scheduled to start.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance headed the list of luminaries in attendance. The guest list looked like something one would see at a funeral for a beloved head of state who had died after a long, storied career.
It was so much more than that, though. The impact of Kirk’s assassination on the future of activism could be immeasurable. TPUSA has gotten tens of thousands of requests to start new chapters or get involved. As Matt wrote in a VIP, the Dems are sweating this. Many of the people whom I have talked to recently keep expressing sentiments along the lines of “I hope the Republicans don’t screw this up.”
Here’s why I don’t think that will happen.
Although Charlie Kirk ran in some lofty GOP circles, he was smart enough to make sure that the movement he built had its headquarters 2,000 miles away from Washington, D.C. It’s almost impossible to overstate how important that is. It’s a huge, highly-functional grassroots organization that isn’t in danger of being polluted by a bunch of backstabbing Beltway social climbers. The distance from that toxicity bodes well for TPUSA.”

Dr Jensen lost to Tim Waltz in 2022 by 7.7 points. So, numerically he is doing a bit better in the poll DW posted. However, with a campaign based on a law and order, family based medicine orientation, plus a greater backing by Christians, I hope his chances to beat Waltz will positively change. In 2022 he also wanted to ban abortion, a position that created a liberal backlash in a liberal state. I think he will take a softened more moderate stance in 2026.

“Republican leaders in Pennsylvania say the Spartacus-like sentiment also describes what they sense is happening on college campuses across the commonwealth since Kirk’s senseless murder.
Thousands of young conservatives are stepping forward — not to take Kirk’s place, they say, but to pick up his mantle of spreading Christian conservative values through open dialog and civil debate.
His story, chronicling the visceral reaction to Kirk’s killing across Pennsylvania college campuses and the longer-term implications this holds for Keystone State politics, was reported through a collaboration between PennLive and RealClear PA.
The group says it’s received more than 62,000 requests nationwide “from high school and college students looking to start new chapters or to get involved with an existing one.” The organization offered no details as to where the inquiries are coming from, nor how many will lead to new chapters.
Still, Trevor Taylor, chair of the Adams County Young Republicans and a GOP committee member, is certain the force multiplier effect of Kirk’s assassination is playing out in Pennsylvania, and across the country.
“Instead of one large torch carried by Charlie Kirk, you’re going to see smaller torches carried by many. This is doubling and tripling the efforts,” said Taylor, who at 31 is the same age as Kirk.
In Pennsylvania, this movement holds the potential to be a political game-changer, he added.
“I’ve had a dozen phone calls to see what I can do, what’s the next step,” Taylor said. “Other like-minded individuals are having those conversations. I’m getting phone calls from lesser-involved members, ‘What can we do?’ I think you are going to see a new, refined conservative political apparatus.”
In Pennsylvania, that apparatus — largely driven by Generation Z that was already trending right — could propel the electorally critical Keystone State from purple to pink to red in coming years, Taylor said.
“Right now, we are a pink state,” he said. “We still have more registered Democrats than Republicans. But that margin is less than 50,000 voters. This is really going to help narrow that gap”

“The U.N. also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens. Can you believe that? On the way to infiltrate our southern border. Millions of people came through that southern border. Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in, 25 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration.”

I still didn’t anticipate this kind of reaction, with basically a state funeral attended by somewhere between 70-90K people.
I have to give him respect for what he created and the lives he touched. I don’t know enough about his positions, or what he said in his debates to comment, but, I can see this as a watershed moment for conservatives.
