Democratic Party Leadership and the clinton state department. John kerry said the russians should and ultimately will pay for what they have done saying the u. S. , quote, will and can respond in ways that we choose to at the time of our choice. Experts say that could include economic sanctions or other punitive actions designed to deter other bad actors from mimicking moscow. White house officials said echoed the threat. That kind of proportional response that the president would consider is not necessarily the kind of response that we would announce in advance. Reporter its not just a cyber war that moscow is waging. Putin and foreign secretary are also engaged in a pr offensive. Each downplaying the kremlins suspected role in interfering with the u. S. Election. Translator theres nothing in the interest of russia, hysterics have been whipped up to distract the attention of the American People from the essence of what the hackers released. Its flattering, of course, to get this kind of attention for a Regional Power as president obama called us some time ago. It has nothing, you know, to be explained by the facts. We have not seen a single fact, a single proof. Reporter john podesta says the fbi is investigating the hack of his emails and suggested moscow was attempting to tip the political scales Donald Trumps way.

Catholics make up 21 of the u. S. Population and have significant representation in critical battleground states like florida, wisconsin and nevada. Today, the trump pence ticket pounced. The emails are the latest evidence of the hate that the Clinton Campaign has for everyday faithful americans. Men and women of faith, i will tell you, this is a time for action, not essays.

In the senate, you have a majority for republicans. 44 democrats and two independents who caucus with the democrats. Look at the map of how it stands tonight, you can see that the red is republican, the blue is democrat. The gray is actually those are states that dont have senate races this year.

They would win in illinois. Tammy duckworth would take out the incumbent. A but thats it. Thats it for democrats. On the republican side, the one change that they pick up is nevada. Look at those numbers. 53 47. A loss of one. That is the question, whether they can hold that. A lot of these races are within the margin of error.

Senator blunt wakes up every day thinking about what he can do for special interests that day. And im a veteran of the war in afghanistan who has demonstrated the ability to work to get things done.
