Gabby Giffords’ Americans for Responsible Solutions, fresh off a humiliating defeat in Illinois this spring and summer, has thrown their limited weight behind Illinois’ sad excuse for a senator Mark Kirk in his bid for re-election.
Kirk, a back-bencher in the Senate who lucked into winning the 2010 race for his office, is running for his life this year. This after a serious stroke that’s left some wondering if Kirk’s stroke has left him completely mentally incompetent.
For instance, in 2014, Kirk endorsed Democrat Dick Durbin over Republican Jim Oberweis for U.S. Senate.
“I’m going to be protecting my relationship with Dick and not launching into a partisan jihad that hurts our partnership to both pull together for Illinois,” Kirk said Monday during an event for Texas Senator John Cornyn.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Mark Kirk, who is locked in a re-election battle with Rep. Tammy Duckworth, was endorsed on Monday by the anti-gun violence PAC founded by former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., because of a vote he cast after the Sandy Hook school slaughter.
Though Giffords is a Democrat, her Americans for Responsible Solutions political arm would be ineffective if it refused to back Republicans who support legislation to curb gun violence.
He’s a spineless Republican in name only, who doesn’t even follow his party’s platform on much of anything.
He’s got this election wrapped up thanks to having Gabby Giffords behind him.
Just kidding.
According to the latest polls, he’s down six points.
He’s probably praying that he’ll be able to ride Donald Trump’s coattails into re-election, even th0ugh he’s proclaimed that he can’t support his party’s nominee for president.
