Why is nobody talking about the RINOs?

Assuming the Repugs take the House it's going to be by a slim majority. The RINOs are from districts where MAGAts are not a factor. If an attempt is made to do anything monumentally stupid, the Speaker won't have the votes.

The votes probably won't be there for radical measures like:

* Forcing a government shutdown
* Defaulting on debt
* Defunding Ukraine
* Reducing Medicare and Social Security benefits
* Outlawing abortion at the Federal level
