I think that the US is going to learn the hard way that this kind of political brinkmanship does not have a good medium-term payout. I think it's also passed the tipping point where a new administration would be able to repair the damage done by the previous one.
The US looks set for a big nasty diplomatic/economic pinch in the next half a decade. (To coincide with the increasing infrastructire failures, the ramping of the deficits, the cultural splintering...)
