Instead, it’s because the GOP is too conservative?

That was never said. You are guessing. My guess is that his is bothered that the right does not want a center right coalition, aka BIG TENT.

“I think the Republican Party is in the same boat the Democrats were in in the early eighties — dominated by EXTREMISTS unable to see how badly their party was alienating moderates and independents. The party’s adults formed the Democratic Leadership Council to push the party back to the center and it was very successful. But there is no group like that for Republicans. That has left lunatics like Glenn Beck as the party’s de facto leaders. As long as that remains the case, I want nothing to do with the GOP.”

Your big tent has resulted in Socialists (of both parties) running Congress and avowed and suspected communists running the White House. Your big tent got Juan McCain nominated as the standard bearer of the GOP.

Was that the goal of your big tent?
