6. I think all of those questions can be used to make the opposite argument as well

Tuesday

Why, are we somehow guaranteed to win the Senate in the near future?

No, but neither are they.

And would we have enough solid members to pass our agenda after that?

We clearly don't have solid enough numbers to pass our agenda with the filibuster.

Also, I'd like to stop saving the GOP from themselves. Let them enact their terrible policies, and suffer the electoral consequences for it.

In the meantime we'd lose what little power we do have to thwart the worst of the Republican agenda?

You mean the zero power that we have... because we just gave it up. We're going to give it up next time, and again after that.

Also, Repigs were not in favor of changing filibuster rules either.

Trump was. Some GOP infighting wouldn't hurt. I want to see Trump pressure them to do it and see if they eventually cave to him like they seem to always do.
