The Democrats hold their third presidential debate Saturday evening in Manchester, New Hampshire. Until now, the Democratic candidates have spent far less time than their Republican counterparts discussing foreign policy and national security issues, both in the debates and on the campaign trail.
The last Democratic debate took place just one day after Islamic terrorists gunned down 129 people in Paris. This prompted moderators to ask the candidates more questions than originally planned about foreign policy and terrorism. But as the Washington Examiner’s Byron York pointed out, the candidates mostly just touched on security matters before pivoting to issues related to the economy and other domestic matters.
