There are FEWER moderate Republicans in the House after the primaries and elections this year.

Many retired or were defeated.

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.

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.

"Conservative hard-liners." Where have we heard that term before? Oh yeah...

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".

Freedom caucus, just tell the RINOS you will sit out the speaker vote and other votes. Get their attention any way you can.
