Andy Beshear is likely the best statewide candidate, and I wouldn't be surprised if he runs against Bevin in 2019 if he's looking very unpopular at that point. I know Kentucky is a deep red state, but Beshear's father did win the Governorship a few years back and Beshear and Grimes both won in 2015. I think Bevin is favored for reelection at this point, but I wouldn't say he is completely safe like some are saying. Beshear and Grimes may not want to risk losing their current posts and may run for reelection though, that is certainly a possibility.
I agree about Mitch McConnell, though. Federal races are far different from state / local elections, and McConnell has quite the political machine set up, so I think he has his seat for as long as he wants it.
