    In going after Biden clan corruption, Trump was doing exactly what he was elected to do, let’s remember. And “Lock her up!” is a direct response to the policy abuses Clintons, Bidens, and Bushes have inflicted on America since the Cold War ended:

    The thing to understand about these people is that they are trained to defend the interests of the GOP at all times and do it automatically even when they think they are not
