The world was shaken after the horrific terrorist attacks that occurred in Paris over the weekend. With more than a hundred dead, and with many more wounded, this attack is the deadliest in France since World War II. With such a quick response from France, and the bombardment of multiple ISIS stronghold's and safe house's, it is clear of France, and it's allies aggressive nature towards dealing with the vicious criminals that performed such inhumane attacks. With the second presidential press conference being held just days after the attack, it was clear that this would be a main talking point of the conference. Rebecca Sanders initiated her press conference with a heart-warming gesture for the victims and their families, and an ultimatum to the involved terrorists. With these events came the inevitable discussion of how to deal with ISIS, who later claimed responsibility for the attack, and how to prevent these types of atrocities from occurring in the future. There also was a heavy focus between both candidates on the current defense budget, and what type of changes would be made to that, in relation to dealing with ISIS and other terrorist organizations. After Sanders expressed her condolences to the victims of those involved in the Paris attacks she noted that the United States has maintained almost the same 600 billion dollar defense budget since the Cold War. Sanders continued by emphasizing the changing times and that the military budget had to adjust and change the way the United States military organizations are using the funding provided by the government. Sanders made it a point to emphasize that she does not want to increase military spending, but rather find a way to reallocate the money provided in order to adjust to changing times. Sanders had said previously that, "significantly less than 10% of our defense dollars go to fight terrorism." It's clear that Sanders vision is to improve the defense spending allocation so it is more adapted to the changing times and more of the money that is available can be used to combat terrorism, both abroad and nationally. On the republican side of the press conference, Presidential candidate Jordan Rubio struggled to answer questions at times, even brushing off the first question asked during the press conference with the response, "I'm honestly stumped." When the topic came to defense spending Rubio stuck to his past ideas of raising the defense budget but when asked how he would increase funding towards defense in a country that has it's national debt piled high, Rubio once again fumbled around for an answer. Eventually Rubio said that the increased funding for defense would come from certain, "un-named" programs. This type of answer is quite similar to those that were provided by former Republican candidate Donald Trump. Trump often provided an answer that suggested he had a plan in place, but would not disclose what such plan. Rubio seems to be following in Trump's footsteps, as he only provided that there was a plan in place, but yet could still not elaborate on what specifics the plan included. Both Sanders and Rubio have different perspectives on defense spending, and as the first debate nears, especially with the recent terrorist attacks, it will be interesting to see if each candidate maintains their original stance, or they attempt to satisfy voters with a different solution.
