The US must have a strong response to cyber security. If that entails retaliation, then it should be considered.
Thoughts are?
 
I think political figures should stop using the internet to communicate.
 
If it's the Ruskies again, it's obvious which party they like - and which they fear!
 
Republicans are more easily manipulated by... anyone.

If Democrats are Darth Vader, GOP is Jar-Jar.
 
If the hackers are indeed Russian state actors, which seems to be the case, it's another manifestation of Russia's new-found audacity born, for the most part, from the situation in Ukraine and Syria and the U.S's involvement in it. Either way, the American response it demands is alarming, considering the caliber of the transgression.
