Ok, perhaps they had an affect. In this day of the internet and social media, what do you wish to do about it?
If the effect was them hacking into the DNC and Hillary's email, it damn near looks like they hung it out there for the taking. What as a nation do you want done about it?
Do you really think, it would do anything of value for the President of the US to chastise Putin in public? I gather the dems thinks so, but it would embarrass the hell out of me.
There has to be a better plan than that, and when we find it, then we do it. Whining bitching in public seems weak, child like even.
