After a long time of pointlessly using a bunch of print statements I finally went back and figured out how to do this.

Here is how you get your ability to use breakpoints again after you bundle:

1)

Go to your webpack.config.js file and set devtools from "true" to "source-map" or one of the other options that @MichelleTilley explained in her answer.

webpack.config.js(here is an example)

module.exports = {
  entry: "./js/app.js",
  output: {
    filename: "js/bundle.js"
  },
  debug: true,
  devtool: "#eval-source-map",
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.jsx?$/,
        exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
        loader: 'babel'
      }
    ]
  }
};

2)

Also like @MichelleTilley explained in her answer you may need to enable the devtools options in the Chrome.
