Russian Focus Once a Dem is Elected

I wish someone at one of these stump speeches or debates would ask these candidates what exactly they intend to do about the Russian interference in our elections if they are elected. Trump is just the result, a symptom if you will, of the greater problem of Russian meddling and influence that has to be addressed sooner rather than later. I have yet to hear any of the candidates focus on this critical issue. Trump will come and go but the Russians will be around for a long time.

My hope is that the first priority of any of these candidates is to make Vladimir Putin and his government pay dearly for what they have inflicted on our country and many other countries through their covert interference. It will take some rebuilding of trust between the US and our allies but that trust should be built around bring maximum pressure on Putin's State sponsored terrorism.

the Russians in particular, and specifically about the ticking time bomb constructed by the Russians, the Saudis, the Likud, and the neo-cons here at home.

My example...I love Warren on fiscal responsibility, but have only a vague idea where she stands on foreign policy...same for many others seeking the ticket.
