If republicans were conservative, perhaps what you say might make some sense, but since republicans are overwhelmingly liberal, the liberal republicans must be politically destroyed.

The effect of which is to empower the Democrats and securely entrench the Welfare State and turn the US into North Argentina with an underclass so large that it can't be outvoted.

All because JRF wanted to do the right thing in the voting booth!

Regardless of your over-the-top rhetoric, I will continue to work to politically destroy liberal republicans so that they can never win election again.

You spend a lot of time supporting and defending liberal republicans. Time that could be spent supporting conservative republicans.

But you aren't a conservative, are you? Just a republican.

Let's play out your desire:

McConnell wins. The Republicans have 51 votes. The first thing McConnell does is change the filibuster requirements back, necessitating the Republicans get 60 votes (votes they can't get) to move bills forward.

McConnell promised this, even though Dingy Harry made this rule change to give cover to McConnell so he could have plausible deniability and “look” conservative. McConnell, as leader, gives this power back to Dingy Reid to again give himself plausible deniability (because, “we can't pass anything without the Democrats onboard”).

McConnell has been up 0bama’s butt so long that if his head was removed, he could no longer adapt from a pure methane atmosphere back to oxygen, and he would die of suffocation.

Your point makes more sense with Republicans who aren't so “smart” as to always only do something to “get along” with Democrats. McConnell is, by principle, either a liberal or a limp-wristed moderate who can't ever be counted on for standing upon conservative principle.
