"Fair game" means that what the family does as related to politics or potential conflicts of interest should be allowable discussion.

Chelsea's connection to big banks is fair game, her cush job at a major news outlet is fair game, and Bill's doings are also fair game.

At least in this group they are.

Populist Group Post: Is it really out of order to mention Bill Clinton? [View all] merrily May 2015 OP

Did some one think the Cliintons would not be questioned, criticised, attacked ... from the left ... JoePhilly May 2015 #1

I tend to think that Clinton supporters know what's coming. JoePhilly May 2015 #4

Good point, however there are parallels. NYC_SKP May 2015 #28

Chelsea is now an adult, hedge funder and overpaid media "journalist", foundation board member. NYC_SKP May 2015 #14

LOL! Speaking of playing fast and loose with the truth..... merrily Dec 2015 #49

That's what you're always accusing the Clintons of. Clintons, meet Jane Sanders. pnwmom Dec 2015 #50

Hillary and Bill and Bernie are ALL populists. So is Martin, for that matter. pnwmom Dec 2015 #53
