A political movement that can sort through the better part of two dozen candidates and then propels someone like Donald Trump into the White House has serious flaws in both it concepts and operating procedures.

And then you wonder why it fails?

If you wonder why the thoughtful, responsible American patriots you drove away joined Team Donkey, this is just one iteration of what caused us to walk away in dismay and anger.

And no, we ain’t coming back.
