The events in Paris are tragic, but it is frustrating to see that the media has already declared Hillary the winner of the debate, that they've reworked the debate to be mostly on foreign policy and national security and seeing that we should all rally around her as she is the only one with national security/foreign policy experience.

Is anyone else feeling discouraged? I'd love to hear a response from an O'Malley supporter.
