Thank you for replying. I'm still hurt. I wrote out my thoughts here.

This, for me, was so much bigger than politics and petty arguments. It was about a platform which actually had the potential to provide freedom from government. Without your vision and philosophy fighting for that, I doubt very much it will happen here.

I'm truly sorry you couldn't stay in the fight. I need to go to bed before I say too much I'll regret.

For what it's worth, thank you Dan. You gave me so much hope while it lasted.
