No they won't. They'll have every ignoramus in the country (and that's at least half the population) parroting the line that "Republicans are mean and unfair and all they care about is money", which they will have been fed by the media, and this obstruction will be turned into OUR fault just like the government shutdown was.
All this when they are supposed to get busy on a tax cut. This will play right into the class-warfare thing. "Why, the Republicans won't even return a favor the Democrats did them out of the goodness of their hearts (ha!); if they won't show a minimum of gratitude to their own colleagues, with whom they have to work every day, what kind of slack do you think they'll cut a lowly wage slave like yourself?"
