Why does the GOP leadership think we need to turn left?

Easy. They seek the approval of the Washington DC elites. They want to be spoken of well in the WaPo and NYT ed pages.

Those that seek the approval of elites are themselves elitISTS - those who believe that the elites should make our individual decisions for us.

This ilk need to be purged.

And they do this at their peril. They are so fixated on positive press from the SRM but fail to see that more and more Americans are rejecting the SRM

I found this in Politico when I thought an article had a typo. It's about Michael Steel, the spokesman for Minority Leader:

By day, he’s a stern spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner with an affinity for cashmere. By night, he’s a fun-loving guy who’s always up for sprinkling his dry sense of humor on a good cocktail party. Steel knew he was D.C.-bound after he graduated from the University of North Carolina and obtained a degree in journalism from Columbia University. “I always loved it,” he told POLITICO about his calling for politics and the nation’s capital. Although he’s the chief mouthpiece for the House’s Republican leader, the 32-year-old Steel is socially bipartisan. Along with his roommate — a Democrat who worked for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign — Steel has hosted memorable parties in his old Dupont Circle apartment for Washington’s young up-and-comers, regardless of political affiliation.
