Whenever you hear a Republican say their party should ignore social issues, they are basically arguing against minority outreach. It is a call for jettisoning areas of agreement between conservatives and subsets of black and Latino voters in order to keep white voters from being divided over values.

But there’s another equally problematic argument that social conservatism can be the entirety of the GOP’s minority outreach — as if it’s sufficient to argue that support for faith and family makes blacks and Latinos “natural Republicans.”
