I don’t see our views as ‘opposites’.
The next step IMO is war as you describe.
However this was the first time conservatives organized and made an effectual ‘power play’. I don’t think Boehner expected them to hold together and succeed. They never had before.
So, I ‘m looking for Boehner to deal with the new balance of power in a way other than he has previously -which was to tell the conservatives he’d give them ‘cover’ but none of their legislation. I expect him to negotiate with conservatives now. It’s the obvious and smart thing to do.
Of course he may turn to Pelosi. It would be a blatant error, an insult to his whole caucus, and a drag on the whole party in the next election. But he may.
