THE BIG FAIL OF THIS DEMONSTRATION IS A SECONDARY POINT

If you haven't heard, there was supposed to be a record-setting demonstration in DC yesterday:
Operation American Spring was billed as far back as six months ago as a rally call for patriotic Americans to force leaders in Washington, D.C., to return to a more limited and constitutional style of governance — and to oust those leaders who weren’t listening.

Initial projections were for between 10 million and 30 million to come from around the nation and converge on the downtown capital city streets outside the White House and Capitol Building — a number the organizer of the event, Army Col. Harry Riley, called optimistic yet doable, given one million militia had already agreed to come.

The primary point is that Riley and other fools actually thought there were at least 10 million Americans just like them.  I blame FOX News & conservative talk radio for this delusion.

Unfortunately there are even bigger fools, eg. well meaning progressives who will vote for warmonger/free trader Hillary.
And "conservative small government advocates" who will vote for the likes of Jeb Bush or Cruz.
