I feel like her Senate bid was more about what she could learn from the system in order to hack it. But Senators are not hackers, nor should we have a hacker as a senator. Hopefully our Republic is more resilient than just someone who wants to throw a wrench in it all. Overall I respect her motavatations and intentions. I think there is a chance that all of that actions were easily manipulated which takes away some points to her character if they were generated by forigen influences.
