Obama White House Knew of Russian Election Hacking, but Delayed Telling

[KPN]

37. This is really water under the bridge.

I personally wish Obama had made more known publicly sooner, but no one can say with any certainty that the results of the election would or even might have been different. I'm certainly not sure they would have been.

The thing I do feel certain about is Republican voters are much more easily manipulated by "messaging" and the GOP has mastered the art of reaching/triggering the emotions of the easily manipulated. Somehow, we need to give them better competition in this regard, with messaging aimed at Rs as well as Is and Ds. Had Obama brought Russian hacking up before the election, imagine the uproar in response to likely GOP talking points: "Obama's trying to cancel the election" or something to that effect.
