KY returns him to the Senate time after time. He isn't up for re-election until 2020.

He led an successful, intransigent obstruction campaign to Obama's Centrist governance that brought him back as Majority Leader.

The GOP is unlikely to lose their majority in a 2018 midterm election when young Dems historically don't show up and crabby old people always do.

He's not going anywhere until he decides to retire, or the Grim Reaper pays him a well-deserved visit. He's a cancer on the body politic.
