No, it makes sense. I'm guessing that the reason why RINOs are RINOs is that they get lots of "under the table" benefits from not really opposing the Dems, on issues the Dems find important.
In exchange for non-opposition, the RINOs get to take money from lobbyists, have mistresses, do drugs, etc, and the media will take no interest and nobody will say a word. I suspect that the RINO club got an ultimatum from the Dems: if you allow in a Speaker who will actually oppose our agenda, then the gravy train gets derailed.
So the RINOs say "fine". If we can't continue business-as-usual, then there's no point in staying.
I don’t disagree with that, but they’re selling out this country and its citizens.
