Sometimes I think he's failing those who elected him but this time he's doing what he does as befits his nickname to the Democrats.
There's an argument to be made for that, but as a Congressional leader I think he's done a really good job -sure, Trump was mad at him for not nuking the legislative filibuster, but that's because McConnell was thinking long-term and knows that the GOP would be in the minority again, so having it to serve as a check on the Democrats was far more important.
As it is, it's actually pretty funny because McConnell is not only thick skinned but known for appropriating disparaging remarks. Case in point with the Cocaine Mitch thing: he actually had his campaign make up t-shirts advertising membership in the "Mitch Cartel."
