The Death of Social Conservatism in the GOP

Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt, and company ran the GOP for years.

What passes for social conservatism in the GOP these days is pretty paltry.

George W. Bush, who normalized female soldiers in combat, made this GOP concession inevitable.

Republican Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who waffled on transgender issues in his state, has complained that the GOP has "Moved more toward the cultural, social conservative side." That is nonsense.

The truth is that the GOP has ceded much of the ground in the culture war to the Democrats.

"The GOP waves white flag in the same-sex marriage wars," notes Politico.

We can expect fronts in the culture war to continue to fall, not in spite of the GOP but because of it.
