The points you bring up are why I have a hard time believing that the "Republican political elites and influencers" are further to the right than right wing voters as shown in the upper right graphs. We are dragging them to the right, not the other way around.
I agree, the Repub elite & influencers are big on the status quo. Like the left's were until recently. They won't budge very far in either direction on their own, they need a swift kick to get them moving. Hopefully a few kicks to the right will have a lasting effect.
Yeah I never feel even remotely "represented" by a single one of these talking heads or leaders on the Right. Half the time they feel like Left Wingers to me with how weak their positions are.
The only thing they ever feel more Extreme Right about is either how anti-Jew they are or just their Extremism meaning "is retarded about it on a level they can't think of natural consequences."
