This was always the unwritten rule. Even the Mafia doesn't do this.

There is not a shred of decency in the Democratic Party anymore. Republicans need to make it clear that if they do this the GOP will respond in kind, going after the families of prominent Democrats.

The only thing that ever stopped this sort of thing from happening was Mutual Assured Destruction - everyone knew if they opened that can of worms it would eat both parties. So they never did. But this current crop of Democrats are willing to launch the birds and we need to be prepared to do likewise. Republican lawyers and private investigators need to be combing through the records of Chuck Schumer's family, or any of the rest of them. Just in case.

Its terrible that it has come to this but the only way to put this genie back in the bottle is to make the Democrats fear doing this. Turning the other cheek will only lead to more of it.

BTW the Trump kids have already faced a lot of this sort of thing. Don Jr. spoke of it, how he found himself always being investigated and attacked, and it will only get worse if the GOP wins because the Democrats will have to go after an easier target. All they care about is power; decency or even concern for what they are unleashing is irrelevant to them.
