When are Leahy(D-VT),Grassley(R-IA),Shelby(R-AL),McCain(R-AZ) and Reid(D-NV) going to retire?

Leahy is likely to be the longest serving US Senator breaking Byrd and Inouye's record. Seek re-election in 2016 and 2022-retire in 2028.
Grassley will serve his last term in 2016 retires in 2022.
Shelby will serve his last term in 2016 retires in 2022.
McCain runs but loses in the Republican primary.
Reid runs but loses in the November General Election.

Just like Trigger.

Some argue that this has already occurred.

but here is the list of 34 US Senators (24 gop-10 dems) up......I see several that need to experience the essence of "the peoples term limits".
