Nope. It was bizarre and tone deaf how he pivoted to economics. No one else did that. bettyellen Nov 2015 #22

EVERYONE moved onto the meat of their campaign. Fearless Nov 2015 #27

Nope, both MOM and HRC had the sense to stay on topic- BS adressed Paris with one sentence and did bettyellen Nov 2015 #49

You're making tihngs up. They all moved onto their opening statements. Fearless Nov 2015 #50

They all moved on! Fearless Nov 2015 #69

they both spent their entire answers on topic- you can't get less moving on than that, LOL. bettyellen Nov 2015 #71

I was actually curious to their reactions. Agschmid Nov 2015 #39

Why should he "react" to it at all. Fearless Nov 2015 #40

because hill2016 Nov 2015 #44

And he did, appropriately, and didn't use it as a political ploy Fearless Nov 2015 #47

I don't think it's a political ploy to talk about a terrorist attack and dicuss what we should do... Agschmid Nov 2015 #56

So Newt Gingrich was well within his right to say what he did? Fearless Nov 2015 #61
