I wasn't aware that Kirk had endorsed Trump but, if he did, this is good.  He's going to lose anyway.

He's only doing this because he's in a tight race here in Il...looks like he will lose his Senate seat.

Then he might as well keep what ever self respect he has.

Up for re-election in a decidedly purple region.

The Trump effect - in the end all he'll have are his core followers.

Illinois ain't purple. It's about as blue as you can get.

Kirk is more of a moderate (also Rauner is a moderate on Social issues as well), plus he had a weak opponent..

Here's some info on Mark Kirk (he's no friend to the unborn):

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Same as Scott Brown in MA probably, elected in a mid-term wave election. Although Brown was elected in a special election after Teddy died, it was still 2010, a huge GOP wave year.

Exactly.  At this point the choice is clear.  Endorse Trump and we lose the majority in the Senate and some seats and maybe the majority in the House.  Don't endorse Trump, and we have a better chance of keeping the majority in at least the House and possibly the Senate - stifling Hillary's moves for the next 4 years. 

The fix was in from the very beginning for Hillary; Donny was nothing more than a siphon for the DEMS, eliminating (at the time this was orchestrated) Bush...no one expected Cruz to be such a formidable foe ... not even Donny.

Worse case scenario, Hillary gets in and we lose the Senate as well. Yep ... everyone that bolstered Trump is responsible from this point forward.  Nice job.

Good.  He's just as big a RINO as Ayotte.  I remember when he was begging Palin for her endorsement back in 2011.  Never got it.

Illinois used to be a good place to live and raise a family.  Then it was a good place to live anywhere in Illinois but chicago and Rockford.  Now it good to live anywhere outside of Illinois.   Will the last taxpayer leaving IL please turn the lights off.

With his record, I wouldn't project any noble goals on him. He was probably going to Back the same people he regularly votes with eventually anyway.

Smartest move you'll make. I left NY (Adirondacks) 20 years ago. There has never been a day I have regretted the decision. The place is beautiful to see...well when you arent looking at all the mini Detroits that the Dems in power created at least. But it's a rathole to live in.
