At the beginning of the broadcast of the CBS News Democratic presidential debate on Saturday night, the candidates paused for a moment of silence to mourn the victims in the Friday terrorist attacks in France.

CBS shifted the focus of the debate following the attacks to allow the candidates more time to address national security and foreign policy.

    A moment of silence is the easy part, what comes next is the challenge.
