VELSHI: "Would that vote have collapsed at that point? But it didn't."
RUHLE: "Again, the evangelical vote would have a lot to do with family principles, morality, but it doesn't. And listen. If it's a single issue vote, if getting someone like Neil Gorsuch is a core principle, core idea you wanted to get, you got that. Here, at some point where's the line for our sons and daughters?"
