Republican Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, facing a fight for his political survival, has withdrawn his support for Donald Trump’s presidential bid.
Kirk is locked in a heated fight for his U.S. Senate seat against Democratic rival, U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth.
Kirk also split with Republican leadership over President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, saying the Chicago area native should get a confirmation hearing in the Senate.
Kirk earlier had said he would support the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. In May, he told CNN Trump might help his re-election effort.
“After much consideration, I have concluded that Donald Trump has not demonstrated the temperament necessary to assume the greatest officein the world,” Kirk said in a statement.

Mark Kirk now says no
Trump was just ‘lukewarm’ to him
Kirk’s soon to strike out
You go, T-Bone the Rain Man!
They are fun, aren’t they?
We need to make sure there is a list of these people so we can work to primary them out.
You forgot Milktoast.
Behold another ass hat.
Buh-BYE, DC insider!
You sir, are a funny man.
I, too, called Kirk’s office. Also called the RNC. If Kirk, Flake, Graham will not support or vote for Trump, who then? Do they want Hillary to win? If they don’t support the ‘R’ candidate, they should leave the Party.
And, JEB should just be quiet!
For many years, Republican Senators & Reps were reluctant to ‘fight back’ against Dem actions that hurt America. Trump is not afraid to challenge the liberal media and Democrats; that’s why he’s the candidate. We’ve had enough political correctness!
Flake is one of my two asshat Senators. Do you have a link where he said he won't support The Don?
This afternoon (can’t recall which show...maybe Shepard Smith) Fox news showed statement from Flake. He was critical of Trump’s comment on Judge and seemed to imply maybe another candidate could come out of Convention. Sorry don’t have link.
Loser.
Again....I’ll not vote for the liberal faggot.
I’m voting Duckworth. First time ever I have voted democrat for anything. I want Illinois to go down in flames
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’ve never voted for a rat either. I won’t be starting with Dickworth either & Never Kirk.
And a natural born cull.
is it too late to primary this dude?
Unfortunately, yes.
Where are you heading? I’m curious. My sis wants me to move to Florida, but I really like my house in Chicago.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I like my house in conservative central Illinois too.

A haiku:
Texokie goads me
Rather than counseling me
And spurs my illness
ROFL!!! Thanks for the verse! (I’m a bad influence right? :-P )
