These instances are side shows and meant to distract from the main issue (s)
The debates are about determinimg who is the best to run, that is who you will back in the presidential election.

Issues such abortion, homosexuality, illegal immigration, etc are issues that need to be addressed but subordinated to the issues of our economy, continued defense, etc. Personally I feel quite strongly about the subordinated issues but first I want to see which candidate can reverse our current economic situation . We are in deep dodo and we need a good leader
and not one that pushes populist ideas about social issues.

Its all about the economy, resuming our leadership role in the world and frankly gaining back the respect we have lost in world affairs.
