There are FEWER moderate Republicans in the House after the primaries and elections this year.
Many retired or were defeated.

The article is wishful thinking.

This is the strategy to split the MAGA off the rest of the population.
And rest assured, the stupid party will take it up hook, line and sinker.

The lefties (and the press) glorified their fringe. Pubs are supposed to shut theirs up.

"Frequent leadership overhauls would erode House Republicans' ability to deliver a common sense, conservative vision and meaningful results for the American people,"
No, that's called holding the McLeadership accountable.

The usual surrender monkeys are dispaying their spinelessness again. They will fight the conservatives but then roll over for the democrats. Uniparty in action.

"Frequent leadership overhauls would erode House Republicans' ability to deliver a common sense, conservative vision and meaningful results for the American people,"He must be referring to some other Republican Party because the one I know almost never does the above (which is how they ended up with Trump).

MAGA and Freedom Caucus are the mainstream right. The RINO moderates are the fringe.

Moderate Republicans are preparing to flex their political muscles to ensure their newly-won but narrow House majority is not hijacked by conservative hard-liners from the Freedom Caucus who are looking to impose a new set of rules in 2023.Their newly-won majority? Those cowardly SOBs had nothing to do with it. And we all know they are going to spend the next two years doing their usual routine when the Republicans take over the majority of kowtowing to their democrat betters including still addressing the former committee chairs as Mr. Chairman while undercutting the actual Republican chairman.

Some would further like to see budget bills go through committees, instead of being combined with other pieces of legislation by leadership and sent directly to the House floor.Now that is what I call Common Sense Fiscal Reform. How hard would it be to debate budgets and budgets alone in committee meetings?

"Frequent leadership overhauls would erode House Republicans' ability to deliver a common sense, conservative vision and meaningful results for the American people," said Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber, who serves as co-chair of the centrist Republican Main Street Caucus. There are two options to ensure there aren't "frequent leadership overhauls".
1.) The leadership represents the will of the Republican caucus and their constituents.
OR
2.) The rules make it harder to remove leadership when they aren't representing the will of the Republican caucus and their constituents.
It looks like Paul Stauber favors option #2. I would be embarrassed if he were my congressman.

The GOP itself becomes irrelevant...without the Freedom Caucus.
The problem is many(particularly older)GOPe types are OK with that...as many of their (big money)donors are the same as the dems OR they already got theirs, "you're on your own, suckers".

Conservatism and the Deep State
If your #1 goal is not to Drain the Swamp, you are not a conservative.
The reason for this is that Conservatism embraces smaller and less intrusive government. When a guy shows up in Washington talking about how he “wants to get things done” that is not conservatism.
Obsession with tax cuts is not conservatism. Taxes are money, a substance that comes from nothingness, created whimsically by the Fed. Such a substance cannot be the measure of anything ideological.
Conservatism is
Drain the Swamp
Build the Wall
America First in All Things
Pro 2nd Amendment
Pro Life
It is not lower taxes. It is not endless war. It is not ANYTHING that requires passing bills. Passing bills is advancing government.
Conservatism is opposing passage of nearly all bills.
Ron Paul was ideologically closer to Trump than one would believe.
