DINO/RINO: It used to be a silly concept. If you voted with the Dems on procedural stuff, you were effectively a Democrat. Ditto if you were a Republican. But now there are actual Republicans in Name Only, congressional members who call themselves Republicans but refuse to vote on rules and the like even when those rules are supported by an overwhelming majority within the GOP House. Ironically, they are all Freedom Caucus members, Gaetz et al. They can’t do that core job that members in the least safe districts can do. They are RINOs: I’ll list them. Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona Ken Buck of Colorado Tim Burchett of Tennessee Eli Crane of Arizona Matt Gaetz of Florida Bob Good of Virginia Nancy Mace of South Carolina Matt Rosendale of Montana. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-ongoing-revolving-speakership-of-the-118th-congress-mike-johnson-is-new-speaker-as-of-2023-10-25/991432)._
