How terror in France could shape an election in America- Londyn Alexander pd:flex
http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/14/politics/paris-attacks-2016-presidential-candidates/index.html
The recent events in Paris could impose implications for our own US national security policy and influence the election. The attack on civilians by the terrorist group ISIS has resulted in a "escalation" in the war on terror. It has also resulted in heightened questions over the issue of national security in the presidential election hindering many front runners such Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. As a result of these attacks the scales are tipping towards more experienced candidates adding more controversy to this already controversial election.
I personally find it sad that the media is politicizing such a tragic event already. I understand that it has effected the presidential race and will continue too,but the severity of the situation is much greater than that.

The events that occurred in Paris were absolutely terrible and extremely disheartening! It is interesting to see how the world is affected by what had happened and thankfully how Paris is receiving support from around the world! -Nicole Chatham 6th period
