Why don’t Senate Republicans want to eliminate the filibuster rule completely?
If they did, they could “do what is best for America”, without Democrat obstruction.

Exactly! Five gold stars to you! Our government didn't used to run this way. This explains the history of how we got here, and bawls out senators for not fixing it. Who's in control of the Senate? Oh yeah. The Republicans (who are blaming the Democrats).
This is not how the Senate is supposed to work
Paralyzed by the filibuster, the Senate has found a terrible way to legislate.

They probably should. The Democrats undoubtedly will finish eliminating the filibuster the next time they're in the majority.

It's too important a tool to their strategy when they are in the minority to get rid of it. Look how frequently they used it against Obama.
