COSTA MESA, Calif.—Prominent conservative thought leaders, including Sebastian Gorka and Trevor Loudon, recently told about 250 conservatives gathered at a California Republican Assembly (CRA) convention in Orange County that the GOP must become better at connecting with voters on an emotional level if it expects to win their hearts.

A national security adviser to former President Donald Trump who served as a former British intelligence officer before immigrating to America, Mr. Gorka said facts without feelings aren’t enough.
