Facing a tough re-election battle, Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk has decided a better strategy is to play defense against the two major-party nominees than to discuss who hell write in for president.
Surrounded by volunteers, Kirk started a bus tour Sunday at Buckingham Fountain that will last about two weeks. The tour will include fundraising visits and a stop at the traditional Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair on Wednesday in Springfield.
Kirk is being challenged by two-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, of Hoffman Estates. Kirk is viewed nationally as perhaps the most vulnerable GOP Senate incumbent, particularly in a state that traditionally votes Democratic in presidential election years.

“And this will be another loss on the way to LOSING THE SENATE! Wake up and see the big picture!!”
Really? You are concerned that if this POS loses we lose the Senate?
Please remind me what Mr. Kirk has done/accomplished that makes you so eager to keep him in the Senate...
By the way...we “own” the Senate and the House right now. How’s that working for you???
My, I have such confidence in the future of the United States....
If the Democrats take the Senate then good luck in President Trump ever getting a Supreme Court justice confirmed.
“Hey, if he plays his cards right he too can get a new car and a $600,000 house on a lake.”
And if he plays it wrong, Blogo can use another cell mate.
****This leader is a total loser. Why is it that politics attracts such debris?****
They are almost all bought and paid for by globalist elites that want total control of the world.
If the Democrats take the Senate then good luck in President Trump ever getting a Supreme Court justice confirmedLike the Republicans would be any different.
Cruz alone would (likely) block ANYTHING Trump attempts...Bank on it.
I live in Illinois, so I know that Sen. Kirk is more liberal than many Democrats. During most of the time that he’s been in Congress (including the Senate and House), his ratings from Planned Parenthood have usually been 100%, and his ratings from Gun Owners of America have usually been 0%. He wants to give amnesty to illegal aliens.
I met Kirk’s Constitution Party opponent, Chad Koppie. Chad is pro-life, pro-gun rights, anti-illegal alien, pro-fairtax, and pro-spending cuts. If you know any Illinois conservatives, please ask them to help Chad’s campaign by volunteering and/or donating. His site is www.chadkoppie.com. When he gives speeches, he says that the liberal vote will split, among Kirk, Duckworth, and Summers (of the Green Party), helping Chad win with 20%.
According to CNN - http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/10/25/breaking-gop-senator-exposed-in-career-ending-scandal-military-service-was-a-lie-details/
GOOD Kirk deserves this, HOWEVER the article about him not being honest is CERTAINLY a joke considering the DEM candidate for POTUS!!! How in the HELL can ANY news organization bring up HONESTY about ANYONE in this election cycle??? LMAO!!!!
And there would have been amnesty for all illegal immigrants had the Democrats still held the Senate and House; why they did not do that first before ACA is unclear.
