Republicans aren't completely useless as they can serve some purpose as consultants in a non-veto role in your project team. They are almost useless for designing anything and you can review that in Republican history, they hardly ever build anything. Eisenhower did a good thing with the Interstate but he still stole the idea from Hitler and the Autobahn, it was hardly innovation. Hitler was a vicious genocidal megalomaniac ... but he did have a few good ideas.
However, Republicans can be useful for spotting points of excessive risk. You need a few around to keep things a little bit in check as otherwise liberals will be building dirigibles out of party balloons. If you give Republicans control then the dirigible will never be built. Much better to use them only for consulting and then let the world continue to evolve without them trying to stop it. Witness the US Congress which has done nothing for almost eight years.
However, never put your final trust in a Republican's risk assessment. They're the same people who used a faulty risk analysis model for estimating the strength of options / derivatives, etc and they knew it was flawed but they used it anyway due to the profits that came from it. This was based on a Nobel Prize in 1997 for 'a new way to calculate derivatives,' most likely the shadiest aspect of financial corruption. The risk model was used by analysts around the world and ten years later it all collapsed with vast amounts of money disappearing in ways we will never know. As you may have noticed, the Republicans didn't lose anything, the rich are even richer than they ever were.

So, keep them away from any control of the money or they will steal it and don't give them a veto of the process or they will stop it. Given those controls, they can provide value, so long as they aren't rabid Limbaugh listeners but even those can only be used for cleaning bowling alleys, etc. For the few Republicans who do manifest some social skills and can be employed in your project, chuck them out on a golf course when you don't need them as then no-one has to listen to their speeches. If any liberal wants to play golf with them, this shows a crooked nature as the only reason for golf is to make insider deals out there. Send these liberals ... well ... just get rid of them (e.g. Clintons, et al).

Yes, he is also highly mixed-up (laughs). He doesn't want drone bombs any more than I.
