Despite the terrorist attacks that rocked Paris on Friday, tonight’s Democratic debate in Iowa will go on. And just as the focus of the Florida GOP’s #SunshineSummit today turned to national security, the candidates fighting it out tonight on CBS are certain to address the Islamic State and terrorism.
Steve Capus, executive editor at CBS News, reassured viewers last night that the debate would go on.
.@CBSNews #DemDebate is going forward as planned tomorrow. Tonight's attacks in Paris require important questions for the candidates.

They certainly do. No questions about fantasy football, then?
LOL, yes. I look forward to the hard-hitting questions during this Saturday evening debate. https://t.co/z1REQUusXX

Here's an idea: "Should we empathize with the perspective behind the #ParisAttacks?" @SteveCapus @CBSNews pic.twitter.com/MPO9Jzp2Np

"How many Republicans didn't just support the attacks in Paris but actually wielded guns and shot people?"@CuffyMeh @AmericanGypsea

@SteveCapus @CBSNews May I humbly suggest that you ask the candidates about Guantanamo Bay?

… and which state will play host to the guests there?

@SteveCapus @CBSNews I guess a question to Hillary about her support of the Muslim Brotherhood wont be asked after #ParisAttacks

@SteveCapus @maggieNYT @CBSNews Only one candidate was a SoS while ISIS developed and thrived. She should be questioned w/o mercy.

@SteveCapus @CBSNews ask them if promising undocumented people free healthcare & free college education encourages them to come to America

@SteveCapus @carlquintanilla @CBSNews Tell America WHY politicians refuse to secure our borders & stop illegals flooding over the border?!

@SteveCapus @greta I dare them to try convincing Americans NOW that we should follow France & UK in "gun-free living". #CertainDoom

@SteveCapus @CBSNews Expect lies and continued push to import more terrorists because…"climate change" and "they need work"…

@SteveCapus @brianstelter @CBSNews They will probably say, "We can't be sure who did this." "Fox exaggerated Paris."

@SteveCapus @CBSNews Be sure to ask Hillary if they were supplying weapons into Syria via Benghazi

@SteveCapus @CBSNews As sec of state @HillaryClinton was the architect of Obama's ME policies. She claims this as a credit. How's it going?

@SteveCapus @CBSNews immigration & radical islam has again taken center stage. I hope we hear leadership on those fronts. But, they're Dems
— J_C.Anderson (@JYakburger) November 14, 2015
@SteveCapus @CBSNews How about: Are we still going to bring in 100s of thousands of young men who claim to be Syrian war refugees? and why?

@SteveCapus @ScottWapnerCNBC @CBSNews If the moderators do not push hard on illegal immigrants and undocumented refugees it's a sham.
— mike koehl (@mpk62) November 14, 2015
@SteveCapus @greta ask Hillary if this was caused by a rock concert or was it an organized attack I need to know.

@SteveCapus @greta @CBSNews yeah like is Isis still a contained JV squad? I'm sure the French are comforted by @POTUS offer of assistance

Bernie Sanders hasn’t said much on the issue. Maybe we’ll hear some solid national security talk from him tonight?
@SteveCapus @greta @CBSNews Bernie will declare that terrorism should be free, along with college, healthcare #FeelTheBern
