Honestly I think McConnell says screw it and goes nuclear. There aren’t really that many competitive senate seats in play in 2018, and if I was McConnell I’d bet that “winning” via passing a lot of bills that my party wants via my slim majority will piss off the Democrats but will empower and please the republican base even more. Most Americans have no idea that you need 60 votes in the senate and I would wager you could mostly make it appear as a non issue to just goto 50 required for all votes. I’d say if nothing significant gets passed by November the brakes come off the train and the senate switches to majority only. Democrats will hem and haw over decorum but nothing will happen. This sounds a tad Covok-Ian, but the truth is that it’s really bad out there and only gonna get worse.

Republican trolling: get Democrats to admit they are in favor of trans people having people rights Democrat trolling: get a bunch of Republicans to vote "No" on supporting "children with cancer" and "World War II Veterans."

Part of the reason the filibuster still exists is that it gives individual senators a huge amount of personal power (to understand why, see "Lieberman, Joe"), and they don't want to relinquish that.

This seems likely, they've been operating as if they'll never have a serious contender for their seats again so this would be in line. It's what I'd want a Democrat-controlled senate to do. Decorum's dead and only D's seem to care.
