    Sorry, that was thrown out the window when Rush Limbaugh went after Chelsea Clinton. And it really went out the window when the entire Republican media sphere went after Sasha and Malia Obama.

      And it was wrong then and remains wrong now. Kids can’t help who their parents are, leave them out of it.

        The problem with that argument is that Haley wants to make medical decisions for my daughter. I’ll leave her daughter alone when she leaves mine alone.

        Her “kid” is 26 years old, married, and campaigns with her mother.

        Should we leave Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric alone too?

          I didn’t realize she campaigned with her mom. She’s fair game then. But Barron Trump and Biden’s grandkids should be off limits.

        But it’s not about the kid. It’s about the shameless double-standard. It’s about Nikki as a parent as well.

          Listen the kids aren’t putting themselves in the spotlight, there’s no reason to drag them in to it. Drag the candidate all you want but leave the kids alone until they decide to join the circus on their own.

            She’s not a child and campaigns with her mother. Maybe focus on the single issue instead of making it about something it isn’t.

      The sociopaths were rude so I get to act like a sociopath argument really doesn’t sit well

        Again, her daughter is 26 years old. So you are saying we shouldn’t go after Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka, right?

          They’re active participants in the corruption and hell raising their old man got up to, just being his kids isn’t the issue, it’s that they’re coconspirators

          You wouldn’t be asking the same question about Barron or Tiffany, because they kept their hands clean of the rampant bullshit their elder siblings got up to.
