If they do maintain control of the Senate, what are the odds of the Republicans deciding that McConnell is too toxic and choose someone else to be the majority leader? If they think that he could cost them seats in the mid-term they might decide that a more "moderate" Republican could serve them better.

If they see the election results as a push back against their policies then they might do it. Remember, these are career politicians, not voters.

A majority of his cohorts are as twisted and toxic as he is.

He can crook his finger and get big donors to fund their campaigns -- or not.
