The only real mystery in this shutdown: Will there be a big, medium, small or no face saving fig?

Heads up this is posted in the BOG. All opinions respected but we do enforce a "no disrespecting the President policy" with zero tolerance:

There are no more negotiating positions for the House and clearly they would give up if they could only find the door.
McConnell has just admitted that there is no difference between the President's public and private position

So on the issue of a face saving fig what do you think Boehner will get:
Big, medium, small or nada?
I predict nada.
This time is different in part because the way that Boehner framed the last time.
If you remember the last time Boehner got his lunch handed to him and then said "I got 100% of what I wanted".
This fueled a false impression that it was a successful strategy. If even the smallest fig is given then Boehner will crow so the whole point this time is to teach Boehner a lesson and make sure no more fuel is added to the fire.
What do you think "Big, Medium, Small or Nada"
Count me one for Nada.
