I figure that ALL email, texts and similar are open to anyone that wants to find them. There are ways to communicate securely but they do not involve electronics in any way.

Maybe I'm a tinfoil hatter, but how do we know that the elections aren't already rigged? The last time Hillary Clinton ran for president, she was all the way at the bottom. And now she's the democratic nomination. How does that even happen?

There were plenty of other perfectly sane candidates earlier in the election, yet we are left with these two?!?

Don't any of you find it odd that there have been no hacking of Republican computers: RNC, candidates, Trump, etc. I doubt that the RNC, for instance, had 'better security' than the DNC. The whole thing strikes me as odd.

The RNC may very well have better security than the DNC IMO. Also, if the hackers are specifically focusing on the DNC and not the RNC that is why the RNC has not been hacked. What's the point? Especially if they are trying to have a say in our electoral process against the Democratic candidate.

The rhetoric is increasing on both sides, ours and theirs.
This has been happening for a while and has little to do with our political parties. It is mostly Russia flexing its power for various reasons from legitimate security concerns (they were not going to lose their naval base in Crimea and I do not blame them) and to garner internal support.

Russian bravado plays well at home.

Just because we do not know about any hacking does not mean it has not happened.

Russian bravado plays pretty well anywhere. Almost as well as ours.

It's a smoke screen. Get caught doing something wrong and then say you were targeted by a hostile power because they want to hurt this country.

The Trump campaign is not mentioning the Russians because the Donald expects to receive billions of dollars invested by the Russians in his "All Trump All the Time" post election TV network. I will be watching to see what happens when it fails and the Donald tries to stiff those investors.

I am not so sure that the Sony hack was North Korea. I believe it was an inside job.
