I like sticking it to the bastards as much as the next guy. But there is such a thing as overplaying your hand.

I agree - it is fine to be hard-arse on important things, but I would recommend against vindictiveness.

But I would not yield on a single thing after the shutdown - and prod the congress to get moving ASAP on Obamacare, Infrastructure, Southern Wall, Education reform, etc.

Strike while the iron is hot, but do so all above board and avoid any semblance of maliciousness.
