Nope. The minute you decide that, the game is lost. You HAVE to be willing to walk away, especially in face of what amounts to a childish tantrum by the right. Or, you invoke the 14th and do it alone and tell them to take you to court. Furthermore, you tell Geitner to not send any checks to contractors from the GOP districts that votes no to a reasonable deal.

He really, really should have said - above board or behind closed doors - that if by August 2d he didn’t have a deal, he’d use the 14th and face the impeachment.

“Clinton survived it, wanna bet I won’t?”
