One problem Mitch already has: in 2016, about 24 Republican senate seats and only 10 Democrat senate seats are up for reelection.
If Mitch folds too many times, he may see his Majority Leader position short lived.

Most of the senators who lost their jobs in this election were old codgers. They were replaced by younger electees. That might signal that the voters are tired of the old codgers — and the 2016 senate might see many ‘old codger’ incumbents in both parties being sent into retirement.
It might.
Good. I don’t care if they are GOP. I hope Bob Corker is one of them to go.
It’s the old codgers, republican and dem, that has gotten where we are today. Vote them out!
