The GOP cares about four things 1) cutting taxes for the rich, 2) staffing government with right wing kooks, 3) removing regulations put in by Democrats, and 4) increasing defense spending.

On the other hand we can't pass union card check, immigration reform, civil rights for LGBTQ people, voting rights act amendments, or pretty much anything else even if we do win in 2020 thanks to the filibuster.
