So, he’s telling all Illinois Republicans to stay home on election day. Awesome!!

I’m from Illinois. This will help, but he’s cooked if he withholds from Hillary. And this is one of those years when the statewide-Democrat isn’t a hack who was too crooked for the Chicago party to keep to itself. Tammy will bury him.

Is it wrong that I’m actually enjoying this election year? I mean, I’m really freaking loving this.

It won’t save you, Mark. You’re doomed.

Illinois GOP: No reason to vote for Kirk. He must have rapist blood in him.

So Kirk’s plan is to go it alone? He won’t support Clinton and he won’t support Trump, so he is running on a platform of returning to Congress to not work with either Presidential candidate? Yeah, more gridlock is just what the voters want…

"I do not support Hillary Clinton, and I told the public that I did not support Donald Trump, either.

Sorry guys, but this isn’t a tenable position. It’s for one and against the other. There is no ā€œdon’t blame meā€ option. I know that a lot of us would like to have that, but it’s not responsible governing.

But maybe if he keeps yelling about how much he doesn’t like Trump long enough, people will forget about what he did during the first five years of his term? Maybe he could temporarily bravely declare his support some moderate-sounding policies, just during the election season? OK. Maybe that wouldn’t be too convincing.

GOP Sen. Mark Kirk: Trump too openly bigoted and racist for GOP Southern Strategy.

In the 2010 race it became apparent that Kirk is a petty liar, more or less of the Paul Ryan type and scale. He had the good fotune to be running against a thief. {Though, to be fair, it was never shown that his opponent personally made those loans to Rezco, et. al.}

ā€œI do not support Hillary Clinton, and I told the public that I did not support Donald Trump, either. I think he’s too bigoted and racist for the Land of Lincoln,ā€

and so who are you voting for Senator?

Rauner is now a ā€˜fence sitter’

Quick flashback:

ā€œDonald Trump is kind of a riverboat gamble,ā€ ā€œHe 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.ā€

Thanks for posting Kirk’s own words. Too many folks are fooled by his recent ā€œreasonableā€ positions (adopted purely in the hopes of preserving his seat) and forget who Kirk REALLY is.

Or even the first few months of this year, when he DID support Trump.

I look forward to hearing Trump’s nickname for Mark Kirk.

And as predicted, though ahead of schedule by a few months…GOP Senate candidates are actually running AGAINST their Presidential nominee. By August, ads will be airing in these battleground Senate seats against Trump…paid for by GOP PACs and candidates.
