"Social conservatives" are the majority in the GOP, and are its ground troops. They are also its conscience.

Ignore your conscience and real bad stuff is going to happen to you. And, as a political party, stiffing your base is the fastest way to lose elections.

Social conservatives are not the majority. They are a valuable faction, but they are not the only valuable faction. They are not the base. They are only part of the base. They share the base with the other factions.
