joining me nbc news senior political editor mark murray emma margolin and cindy bore en editor of early league sports blog. mark first, this is a bigger political issue we will be discussing when we see the republican primary. social conservatives now versus big business in that state. >> yeah, and tamron if that was like the match up there, big business ended up winning, at least until we end up seeing what the legislative fix will be. you're exactly right in a lot of ways, even inside the republican party, this was testing two big pillars of the gop, big business and social conservatives. for awhile you saw a lot of republicans go to the social conservative route, including the 2016 potential candidates but pence making his arguments about how perception matters so much and due to that negative perception he said caused by the press they needed to make a fix. i just add it was more than just perception. mike pence went on tv on sunday was asked point blank whether this legislation would allow a florist to deny giving services to a gay marriage and he was unable to answer that question
