Is the pool of candidates for these staff positions so low that the candidate HAS to take someone who is to the left of them? This seems more like a problem of hiring rather than the actual staffers. If a candidate’s staff is pushing them to the left of where they naturally are or where that candidate thinks they should position themselves in order to win, then that is on the candidate and not the staff they hired.
