Rauner has stopped short of endorsing Trump. And looking for alternative doesnt bold well for Kirk or Dold.

I don't follow this. Kirk has been for consideration of Garland from the start. He's now on record in favor of a hearing and a vote.

They arent gonna vote for Garland and confirm him. Anyways, as I said Kirk voted against comprehensive immigration reform and Trump losing the state 2:1 wont be enough to save him from Cook Cnty, not downstate.

Rauner doesnt even endorse Trump.

As I stated before, Kirk isnt gonna lose on the Senate not confirming Garland. The fact remains, Garland will be kept off bench, period, that alone has upset Illinois, irregardless of Kirk stances.

Kirk also voted in 2007 and 2010 against Immigration Reform, that will cost him Latino votes, too.

Duckworth is the perfect candidate; just like Ginnoulius attacked Kirk's military record and GOP went after his patriotism, Duckworth's herorism and amputism will self deflect GOP criticism of her. Shes a good, not great  candidate.

It will be very interesting who the Sun-Times will endorse in IL 10, Duckworth probably gets its endorsement. I think those endorsements matter as well as a Human Rights Interest Group.

Remember IL decided to not enact SSM when Rauner dumped Quinn in 2014.  Il isnt Iowa which enacted SSM.  Kirk's record outside of that issue is much more conservative and he supported Bush W tax cuts and against immigration reform

Kirk and Dold and Rauner are part of the Kirk Dillard wing of the party.  Dillard was suppose to be Gov in 2010. His support went to Mark Kirk.

In 2016, much of the Rauner reform turnaround agenda hasnt passed, as more Dems sign up for Obsmacare, not just medicaid, as Dems reclaim Sen and win reclaim Gov.
