Historically, voters have a very strong distaste for dragging a candidate down with stories about their kids.  Even though there is definitely merit to all of these stories, influence is definitely bought and sold through children, voters typically don't want to hear about it.  And I don't think that's changed.

Each of those policies she listed can change by nominating candidates that can win elections.

You’re intentionally muddying the waters to avoid the main point, but I don’t blame you.

Btw, any polls showing voters would not have voted for Trump had they known about these little stories of his children that the left failed to make an issue of?

Did anyone in the government threaten anyone in the media for publishing or promoting the Hunter's laptop story?  It's given that old Twitter moved to suppress that story, but it's also given that old Twitter had a legal right to suppress any story they wished to suppress.  Did anyone coerce old Twitter to do this?  Unless you can answer that question affirmatively this whole dustup is over nothing.  

And in any case, Trump’s people were in charge of government at that time.  So if government deprived Twitter or Twitter users of their 1st amendment rights at any point in 2020, that's Trump's fault, not Biden's.
