the Republican Study Committee. It went into the election with 110 members, almost half of all House Republicans. Despite GOP losses in the election of 30-plus seats, the RSC expects to come close to maintaining its current membership level.

Good news for who? This says the conservative wing lost very few seats. That is a good thing.

In California , at a state level, conservative republicans actually replaced a few moderates in the state legislature, but you won't hear about that much either.

Overall no seats actually changed party hands tho.

The vast majority of Republicans ARE conservative. Da Rockefellers have been dying ever since conservatives took over the party in the mid 1960s. This election ratified their demise as a force in Republican politics. In the minority, conservatives don't need their votes to pass anything of consequence.
