I guess being from Kentucky I have to at least try to explain/justify to myself how this guy is still in power. I'll start with a short anecdote. I knew a staffer for a democrat in DC, and he told me very plainly, Mitch McConnell is the most powerful man in Washington and that Kentucky would be stupid to lose him. I didn't believe this, and don't want to, but it's probably not far from the truth. McConnell has been in DC forever. If there is any justification for term limits, he is the epitome of it. Kentucky is rather unique, as with many surrounding states, in that you have a few cities that are relatively current, tech based, etc. But not 20 minutes away, you have whole slews of folks who've never used a computer and don't intend to. So, Kentucky is a challenging state to win. But to an informed voter, what do you do? On one hand, McConnell is good for Kentucky and voters know this. He has certain power that is ultimately good for jobs in this state, and that's what he is elected to do. On the other hand, he is a terrible decision maker for the nation and for the future in general. I didn't vote in his last reelection because I do not support him. But his opposition was laughably weak, probably because not many think they can beat him. And they may be right. We need term limits on all politicians to prevent people like him from existing as they do.
