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 Mark Kirk, facing a fight for his political survival, has withdrawn his support for Donald Trumps presidential bid.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

As far as I know, there isn't even a penny's worth of difference between Kirk and Duckworth. (I live in Illinois. Mark Kirk is a POS.)
We are screwed with this race no matter what.
Kirk is both a physical midget as well as a mental one.
Duckworth is a lying pos - a dem, so I repeat myself once again.
Working like a dog to get out of this state, it’s swarming with the worst of the worst.
He’s such a hypocrite. I will NOT vote for Kirk.
Mark Kirk: ‘We drive faster’ through black neighborhoods

I saw the thread title and thought Captain Kirk didn’t want to beam Trump aboard.

Guess he is out as a VP prospect then.
Let the Dems have his seat. This guy was just like a Democrat anyways.
I feel really bad for the people in downsate Illinois. Chicago cancels them ou for any statewide representation.
So Kirk is a Cuck. What a shock. Plays will in Illinois I guess.
I heard a pigeon making noise way up in the rafters of a tall barn. It was a high coo.
Now, now they can't prevent Donald from packing the court unless they lose the Senate.
In related news, Sen Kirk announced his upcoming sex change operation, “in the interests of diversity & inclusivity” he said.
So far, his “People of Color” treatments have given him an orange color, not the “colored people” color he was seeking.
He has made a 4 year subscription renewal to “Pander” magaine (both Print & Online versions)

I hope somebody starts a ‘Remember 2016’ list of GOP who refused and impeded Trump after he secured the nomination.
Who is Mark Kirk and why should I care ?
Me too LOL.
I read the headline and my first thought was “Really, Kirk Cameron isn’t supporting Trump, uh?” Of course I’ve no idea who Mr. Cameron is supporting, I just thought it odd that it would be a headline. Never heard of this other Kirk, only other Kirk I can think of is James T. Kirk.
good
