What Went Down At The ABC Republican Debate

Some context for why Jeb Bush and Chris Christie just gave the smart-for-New-Hampshire answer on abortion. In 2008, 52 percent of voters in the New Hampshire Republican primary said abortion should always or sometimes be legal, according to the exit poll. Only 15 percent said it should always be illegal.

Marco Rubio, in response to a question about younger voters and social issues, brought up an interesting point: that the Democratic debates have, thus far, not really mentioned the abortion issue. It’s perhaps because Sanders has heightened the debate over economic issues so much in that race.
