Republican Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, facing a fight for his political survival, has withdrawn his support for Donald Trumps presidential bid.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 Obamas 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.

Good one and I agree.
Another haiku:
I was told to stop
By a specific FReeper:
Secret Agent Man
This bs just cost this bozo the votes of my wife’s conservative relatives and friends in Illinois.
“I want Illinois to go down in flames”
Same here, oniy in my case it’s California! The only way the rebuilding process can begin, is for the current political leadership to completely crash it’s own financial system. It will be painful, but only when the idiot voters are faced with seriously stark choices will the vote for reverting to limited government (i.e. when their checks stop arriving).
A haiku:
When behavior veers
Look for secret influence
Of moneyed elites
The RNC is soliciting money on behalf of Trump. Send any contributions directly to Trump to make sure gonads like this one don’t get a penny.
Let’s make sure this RINO coward goes down on Election Day.
Who the blank cares?
A haiku:
To kill the disease
Sometimes must gut the system
And have a fresh start
This last one sounds like nostrodamus!
“To kill the disease”
Sometimes you have to kill the “carrier” and bury him (it). The real problem in Illinois ( not unlike California today) is that to get elected as a “repubican” you have to be DemoRAT Lite. And DemoRAT Lite’s just prolong the agony, when electing a Pure RAT, will get the desired fiscal collapse much sooner.
You are mistaken: the voters will never understand any more than do the Venezuelans do.
The only problem
with haiku is that you just
get started and then...
He’s gonna lose his seat no matter what. He has had to come back from a stroke but has done nothing to stand out in the crowd. Always was an outsider and in January, he can REALLY be an outsider.
Since when did Hillary’s fanboy ever support Trump or for that matter Freedom?
No one has ever called this one conservative, just unindicted.
was there a response?
Kirk is a POS. /redundant
