Boehner pretty much kept conservatives on lockdown in the House because there was no single figure with high enough profile to oppose him . There are good representatives, like Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachman, but neither had a compelling media presence other than on talk radio. McConnell won’t have that advantage; Cruz will be able to force him to bring things to the floor that Reid never would have, and he’ll be able to force McConnell to allow amendments and votes. I think McConnell’s pledge to go back to regular order is the key reform, and Cruz will take major advantage.

And Roberts will kill ObamaCare.
