Another norm utterly smashed by Trump: "Don't attack candidates' kids."

[NCLefty]

Can anyone remember a sitting president or major candidate doing this in modern times?

(I'm referring to the Hunter Biden nonsense.)

1. Time To Look At Every Dirty Deal The Trump Kids Did

Kids are now not off limits.

6. That's pretty much how it's always been regarding adult children

2. Don't think norm applied/applies to adult kids. Didn't McCain attack Chelsea? And Rush.

There was some attacking of W's daughters---living it up at college, IIRC

3. It's never applied to adult kids, esp adults that are involved in their parent's campaign

Hence, Ivanka, Don and Eric get hit. Bush's daughters took some hits. Chelsea in the last election. Patti Reagan and her yoga instructor,along with Michael was fodder

4. Well he did hold Uday, Qusay and Princess Lay-Me out as our new royals

I'll take any Biden, living, dead or even hypothetical over DFT's rancid anthropomorphic sperm.

5. The so-called norm has only applied to underage kids.

7. Hunter Biden is a kid?

And here I am thinking he's a grown-ass man. :/

8. Considering the backdoor that was created between Justice Kennedy's

son and Trump loans, and then the quid pro quo that followed, It is not surprising to me that they would eye whatever the adult children are doing behind the scenes. That's how they move their own agenda. Using their own family members as conduits. So, it doesn't surprise me.

We are looking closely at Trump's adult children for the same reason.

“Just to state this: Justice Kennedy’s son gave a billion dollar loan to Trump when no one would give him a dime, and Justice Kennedy has been ruling in favor of the Trump Administration position for 2 years as the Court decides 5-4 case after 5-4 case.”
— Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, in a tweet, June 29, 2018
