McConnell will be the leader of Senate Republicans until he dies of of old age. His Kentucky constituents like it that their guy is the Boss of the Senate Republicans and from time to time the Boss of the Senate. All other considerations are insignificant.
Well I’m from Kentucky, and as a believer in term limits, I would have liked it if McConnell retired years ago. Unfortunately, it seems that neither party can produce a candidate who would do as well as he has.
