Blog Post looping incorrectly

Hi guys,

Just looking at a quick issue with a template. It is a basic blog template that is used to loop through blog posts and display them on the site in a grid format.

Unfortunately, it seems to be leaving weird gaps in-between the blog posts. I am assuming this is a looping issue where the loop is ending and then starting again? Or is this a clearfix issue?

I’d appreciate any help you could give!

Here is my template code:

<section class="blog_sec clearfix">
	<div class="container clearfix">
		<div class="col-lg-8 col-sm-8 col-md-8 col-xs-12 blog_de clearfix">		
			<?php
			$args = array('post_type' => 'post','post_per_page'=>-1);
			$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); $i=0;
			if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
				while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
					$the_query->the_post(); ?>
			<div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-xs-12 blog_post_list">			
			<div class="blog_imge">
			<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
				    <a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
					<?php $featured_img_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url(get_the_ID(),'full'); 
	echo '<img src="'.$featured_img_url.'" alt="" />';  ?>
				    </a>
				<?php endif; ?>
			</div>			
			<div class="blog_details">					
				<h3><a>"><?php echo the_title();?></a></h3>
				<div class="entry-meta">
					<span class="entry-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span>
				</div>
				<div class="blog_ept"><?php $trimexcerpt = get_the_excerpt();	
				$shortexcerpt = wp_trim_words( $trimexcerpt, $num_words = 10, $more = '… ' );
				echo $shortexcerpt; ?></div>								
			</div>
			</div>
			<?php $i++; }
				wp_reset_postdata();
