Republican Sen. Mark Kirk's campaign fired back at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday morning after the Manhattan billionaire said Kirk was "not doing so well" in the Illinois Senate race.
Kirk's campaign manager, Kevin Artl, told Business Insider in a statement that the Illinois Republican was far outperforming Trump in the state.
"The simple fact is that the Illinois Senate race is a statistical tie and Sen. Kirk is outperforming Donald Trump by a net of 13 points," he said.

It’s getting tougher to tell whose heads Trump is causing to explode more. The America-hating Democrats or the GOP establishment politicians. Proof that America has a one party system. It’s the DC politicians against the American people. Like the “media” bobbleheads like to say, this election season was “fun to watch”. All of the weasels came out of the chicken coop together. Now we know who is who.
Dunno. That's what Trump does. He loves pissing contests.
“Trump again wasting precious time on distractions and personal spats.”
You concern trolls are boring these days, throwing out variations on the same tired, FALSE meme. A brief comment is not “wasting time” on anything. I guess if he tells his wife she looks nice he is wasting time on a personal thing. /s Sheesh.
Vote Trump 2016
Exactly!
I think Donald is broadly hinting that he and Kirk ought to have a summit to help both their positions out. Donald is a little rude and crude about it, granted. He’s still a lot better than the next thing behind. We have to fight the dogs we have, not the dogs we wish we had.
Alpha dog. Tom cat.
Actually they are both branches of the same tree. The Socialists tree.
Kirk is not a Republican.
L
I think I see the GOP having grafted itself into the Rat tree rather than put in the effort of being something distinctly different.
I hope GOA ‘F’ rated (on the 2A) Mark Kirk loses, and badly.
I would never vote D, but in this particular case, it would be Constitution Party, or some such other alternative, all the way.
Nominally he is, and it would be insane to presume that Donald really does prefer Tammy Duckworth in that seat next year.
This is Donald being Donald, scolding Kirk for not walking the talk.
Agreed! Trump makes a single comment not dealing with Hillary and these guys freak out!
I think that you are correct.
As the Bible says, “ The goats on the left. The sheep on the right”.
Yep. Trump reminds me of Smoky the Bear in the forest. He seems to think every smoking butt needs to be stomped out, so to speak.
Or kicked?
It was easy enough to be a goat until the last roundup, huh.
Somebody beam Mark up.
[Trump again wasting precious time on distractions and personal spats.]
It took you longer to post that than it took Trump to make his statement.
He can spare a few seconds of ‘precious time’ to tell the truth about a RINO idiot.
"This guy was actually taking out ads against me," Trump said. "I said, 'Are you sure he's a Republican? Maybe he's a Democrat?' And he's not doing well, but hey, that's his problem. I mean, you know, he was not for me. But if you look at — and he was — that was for political reasons."
Your post and selective quotes sounds like something CNN would do.
Yeah, if your margin of error is 7 points.
