A question for the Trumpers. When all the chants were going on at the rallies, Lock Her up, Build the Wall, etc, did you know at the time that it was all a show? Was it all some sort of collective rant or performance art?

Were you all in on the joke with the whole he's not a politician, he means what he says BS?  Did you know that all of the populist crap was going to be jettisoned and the billionaires given even more power than ever?

Or did you get played by a huckster appealing to your own unreasoning hatred?
I'm curious.


Trump on 'lock her up' chant: 'Now we don't care'

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump said Friday he doesn't care about prosecuting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, after attendees at his rally chanted "lock her up."

After the chants started at the President-elect's post-election "thank you" rally in Michigan, he responded, "That plays great before the election -- now we don't care, right?"

The chant "lock her up" became a common occurrence at Trump's rallies while he was running for president. During the presidential campaign, Trump pledged to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton for her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. Despite the fact that FBI director James Comey recommended over the summer against criminal charges for Clinton for the server use, Trump told Clinton during a debate that if he were president, "you'd be in jail."

However, once Trump became President-elect, he said he wouldn't recommend prosecution of Clinton, whom he told New York Times reporters has "suffered greatly."
He also said the idea of prosecuting Clinton is "just not something I feel very strongly about."
