Kirk is truly delusional
Behold the awesome power of self-deception!
“Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) claims to be confident that Donald Trump at the top of the Republican ticket will actually improve his chances of keeping his seat.”
Yes. In the same sense that the larger the rock, the greater the likelihood it will help one keep afloat.
“Donald Trump is kind of a riverboat gamble,” Kirk told CNN on Friday. “He won the Illinois primary, in this case we have seen the Republican vote up and the Democratic vote down, so it looks like it’s a net benefit.”
Ok, back to Jay Farrar
Channeling Megyn Kelly: is this what he tells himself to feel better?
LOL
Awesome. We will make sure all the voters associate you with the insane shit flying out of Drumpf’s pie-hole.
I think he’s got a point. The one thing Trump does is suck all the attention from everywhere, so Kirk will be able to make gaffes with not nearly as many people noticing.
[While Kirk has said he would endorse Trump if he becomes the nominee, he maintained that Republican voters in Illinois would be able to distinguish his own platform from the real estate mogul’s.
“These days I’m probably the best-positioned Republican to weather the institution of Trumpism because I have been voting pro-gay rights and against the gun lobby and solidly pro-choice,” Kirk said in the CNN interview.]
Sure.
As dumb as Carson.
He knows The Donald is having a twitter-fest …
Doesn’t want to risk it —
Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face; Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face.
I think the last time this type of confidence was heard was when a passenger on the Hindenburg said, “Hey, I think I see New Jersey over there.”
“People see Donald Trump has made all these racist and misogynist statements and so has Mark Kirk, and that allows us to draw a distinction,” she continued.”
Folks, this is how it’s done. You can ride around like 2 Chainz singing “I’m different, I’m different”, but Democrats are going to hogtie you to everything Trump’s ever said. Every vote you’ve ever taken, every statement you’ve ever made will be joined to something Trump said or did. By the time this thing is over, there will be dozens and dozens of soon to be unemployed GOPers named “just like Donald Trump”.
He’s a Republican running for US Senate in Illinois in a Presidential election year.
That alone puts him at a tremendous disadvantage. No fuckin’ way having a jagoff like Drumpf at the top of the ticket is gonna “help” him.
Dear Senator Kirk:
So the Trump effect creates a “net benefit” by ensuring Tammy Duckworth defeats you by a wide margin in November. I assume you meant the “net benefit” accrues to the people of Illinois because it damn sure isn’t working to YOUR advantage.
…But prefers KFC to the Popeye’s organization.
Every GOP down ballot candidate will have schedulers to make sure you never attend the same function as Trump, and spotters to get in the way of every potential photo that may show you within miles of Trump. If you ever bought a Trump steak, you will have to explain your wife bought it and you had no idea.
Kirk is in a bind because he risks alienating Trump supporters by distancing himself from T. He must dread to admit how polarizing Trump is for him and other GOP pols. Boo hoo.
Yes, what bad luck to be running for re-election and get totaled by Cat 5 Shitcane Drumpf. Kirky has luck just like “Bad Luck Redshirt Brian.”
