Biden: 'We're Sending a Message' to Putin - NBC News, Oct 14, 2016

They are still in the past thinking our political resolution is also in the past. its not. There is no solution this is the end

Democrats now say things like "We're Sending a Message' to Putin and if he doesn't stop tilting our electoral process we are going to communicate in CAPS FROM HERE ON OUT!!"

Almost on queue, he has essentially restated what Biden said above - Rachel just played the tape. I wonder what they're planning?
