The rest of us civilized "American People" will just stand back and react in horror, if Trump (or any candidate) would actually move to such low-level tactics as described in this thread.
Yes, it's really awful the way "those other folks" stoop to using those terrible, low-down tactics. Thank goodness for us "civilized" people, the ones who recognize Hillary for the sweet grandma that she is, spending her time making chocolate chip cookies and just loving on everyone. It's too bad that that evil Trump guy can't seem to see it our way...
I said nothing about Hillary being perfect or described her as a "sweet grandma baking chocolate chip cookies." NO ONE is perfect, and everyone's sh#t stinks, including Hillary's and mine and yours SillyAmerican.
The point I am making is that spouses, children and other family members, should be off-limits to "attacks" during the campaign. Any issues directly committed by the candidate himself/herself is fine, but we need to stay away from attacks on their family.
Shouldn't we as people of this nation demand this ? Would you want your family (spouse, your child, your own mother/father/grandparent) attacked and used by the opposition ?
Of course not.
Thus I am perplexed by your comment : "It's too bad that that evil Trump guy can't seem to see it our way..."
Your use of the words "our way" seems to imply that "our" means Hillary supporter's way of looking at it. But that is not the "way" I am trying to convince anyone to look at my argument.
The way I would like people to understand my argument is that we should conform to and demand that family is off-limits, and that this is an "American way" of "our" politics. (That represents ALL OF US. Regardless if Dem, Rep, white, black, man, woman, fat or skinny.)
Bill Clinton is an ex-President and top drawer Democratic surrogate for the party's current generation of politicians, not some misty housewife or a clueless teen. He should be able to handle attacks on his personal conduct, given that many of them are richly deserved.
