In an interview with The Hill Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) said that possible presidential runs by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) would hurt the Illinois Republican Party.
“We definitely have our isolationist wing, which I completely disagree with,” he said, pointing to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), before promising to back a GOP candidate in the presidential primary that he thought would do well in Illinois. He criticized Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) bombastic style as well.

There is no GOP in Illinois. They're all in jail.

It’s about time the conservatives come right out and say “oh well if the GOP elite don’t care, I am running hard as a conservative and you can jump aboard or get left behind”

Rand Paul And Ted Cruz Running For President Would Hurt IL GOPIf running pro-freedom candidates hurts the IL GOP, then the IL GOP needs hurting.
If you have to run fascists to win, what's the point? You elect fascists with an "R" rather than a "D"?? Whoop-te-do!

The word “bombastic” is reserved for dyed-in-the-wool conservatives who speak admirably about the American Constitution.

I don't understand how a 2016 run by Ted Cruz/Ron Paul would hurt the GOPee in IL. For all intents and purpose, the Republican Party is dead in IL. It is run by RINOs in DuPage County and the Donkey Party in Chicago/Cook County run the state. Kirk is a lousy RINO — I can't stand the weasel or his little mini-me named Rep. Adam Kinzinger. IL needs a purge of the Republican Party from top to bottom to throw the RINOs out. That isn't going to happen. For all intents, the “combine” — a single party of Donkeys and RINOs arrayed against citizens — lives and thrives in Springfield. Residents are so screwed.

Who the F__ is Mark Kirk?
And how does he know these things?
We need candidates with spine, not whine.

So we should sacrifice our national interests for the interests of left-wing appeasers in one state who think they might possibly get elected as left-wing Republicans?
Nah. I’ll pass.
Go Cruz.

If Cruz running is bad for the IL GOP, then the IL GOP must need to go...
