Is it a standard thing for presendtial candidates to campaign for other candidates [View all]

in their party, like the Senate & House? I only ask because Hillary keeps bragging about campaigning with some of the down ballot candidates as well as contributing to their election campaigns, and slamming Bernie for not doing the same.

I think it's a great thing to do, BUT if they are in a tough campaign, wouldn't they concentrate on their own campaign until they are assured of their nomination and then help the down ballot candidates?
