It's better that McConnell wins that fight decisively.
(And then the losers can form their own far-right extremist party that hopefully will split the GOP base and sideline the outright fascists from power.)

In recent history whenever the right has splintered due to a challenge from the right, rather than hurting that party, it has resulted in that party eventually moving further to the right. Examples include the Canadian Reform Party, the TEA Party and the UCP in Alberta. Extremism always leads to bad outcomes.
