Candidates mum on foreign policy in first 100 days goals.
[center]
[/center]
None of the three Democratic candidates addressed foreign policy as they answered a sweeping question about what they would hope to achieve during the first 100 days after taking office.
Each candidate proposed raising the minimum wage, and all of the candidates spoke generally about improving the U.S. economy. Hillary Clinton also said she would work to bring the country together.
But missing from the exchange was any mention of foreign policy. ISIS. Syria. Iran. None of the subjects got treatment.
The absence was notable because the debate follows a weekend of dizzying developments on the Iran front, and because the Republican debate on Thursday night featured a lengthy exchange on Iran during the first fifteen minutes.

Iran sanctions barely even came up.
