60 is way higher than he’s ever scored.
Hughes would be my preference too, but that's not going to happen and I will say it again: It benefits conservatism to have a 55 lifetime ACU rated Mark Kirk - as a member of a majority GOP Conference - in the Senate rather than a RAT like Dick Durbin who has a ACU lifetime 6 who would be there in his place.
There can be no rational discussion with "conservatives" who cannot acknowledge that truth. Politics and electoral success matter. Just my opinion. Sorry to post and run, but I have obligations tonight. Regards.
