Jeb Hensarling — seeing his name floated today. Confess I don’t know much about him.
McCarthy -— IMO, as bad or worse as Boehner.
This is going to be one colossal proxy gladiator fight ahead.

and this quote from Cruz:

After his speech today, Cruz expressed concern that Mr Boehner may be ending his tenure with one more effort at negotiation with Democrats.
“If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal - and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behaviour one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House,” he said.
