Before we all jump down Kirk’s throat preemptively, bear in mind this article is only speculation. In fact, he voted against this legislation as a Congressman, so I see no reason he’d flip and vote for it as a Senator.
If you lived in Illinois it wouldn't surprise you. Kirk sucks up to whoever is in power, and flip-flops all the time. For example, he was all for the war in Iraq until the polls said voters were weary of it, then the traitor stabbed up in the back and voted AGAINST the surge. Kirk said during the primary he would "lead the effort" to repeal Obamacare, then flip-flopped after the primary and said it was now settled law and he wouldnt' support repeal even if Republicans had gained control of BOTH houses and could pass such legislation.
There is not a single issue Kirk wouldn't be willing to sell us out on for the right price.
