Kirk: I would be voting for Clinton in next general election. This continues my tradition of voting for all democrats. My vote for Obama turned out to be a good one.

He has ‘routinized’ his campaigns. About 6 months before Election Day, he begins to transform himself into a lookalike Democrat with meaningless Senate votes that he can claim make him a moderate. Don’t be fooled. In December, he will be a hard-core Republican again - only this time, let’s make sure that he is not in the Senate as he does so.

So, it’s now supposed to be a good thing that a Senatorial candidate believes that the leader of his own Party is unfit to be POTUS? And that’s what he’s going with? Good luck on that.

“It’s helped because I’m a very independent voice for Illinois,” Kirk told CNN in an interview published on Monday.

“an increased interest in their campaign.”
Teabagger Translation: “We have received 127 times as many tweets and emails calling Mark Kirk an asshole because of his phony righteous indignation towards Trump than we did before we dumped Trump.”
And ain’t it funny that, while saying how much it’s helping the campaign, they won’t mention any polling numbers.

The very first time he ran for Congress he shook my hand, looked me in the eye, and promised to follow in the “moderate, open-minded ways” of his predecessor, John Porter. [his words] If he tries to shake my hand now, I’m going to smile politely and tell him I hope he enjoys retirement.
