Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) became the first Republican member of Congress to rescind an endorsement of Donald Trump, saying on Tuesday that he could no longer support his party’s presumptive nominee for president after Trump’s racist attacks against a federal judge.

“I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for President,” he said.

Kirk’s statement was the most powerful denunciation of Trump to come from Republicans on Capitol Hill, but it was hardly the only one, suggesting that Trump’s racist attacks are finally starting to worry GOP lawmakers.

HA! Too Late!

1. There are a few sane Republicans. Not many, but a few.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

3. Kirk is not one of them. He is just running scared. n/t

[mercuryblues]

4. I would be interested

in who those sane republicans are.

[mercuryblues]

2. Oh, hell

The republican party is so full of racist that they don't recognize it as racism.

The republican party built it. They fucking own it. No excuses.

I said a while back that they secretly love trump. They get to publically be against his racism, while patting him on the back in meetings.

6. Think you're right...

Pats and whatever on the back...the other thought I saw posted earlier was that Trump could be a "bait and switch" kind of thing to get Jeb, Rubio or even Romney back in the race, if that is the case I think they have grossly miscalculated because the Trumpers will be so pissed off that they will not vote R (we hope).

9. Those baggers will vote no matter who Rs shove down their 'little people' throats.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Actually, not.

They almost didn't vote for Romney. They swore up and down they'd never "hold there nose and vote for the GOPe nominee again" (GOP elite).

This time around the baggers seemed to want either Cruz or tRump.

They think Ryan, McCain, and Rubio are leftwingers close to Hillary on the spectrum and that Rush Limbaugh is not very conservative so they don't listen to him any more.

[0rganism]

18. exactly - they created the "Southern Strategy" and milked it for 44 years straight

their current wave of denial seems to be of the "methinks the senator doth protest too much" variety.

i don't think they know how to win a presidential election without it anymore, but ongoing demographic shift is going to end their party RSN. their "autopsy" from 2012 was all about winning the Hispanic vote, and so far they've done nothing but alienate it.

22. GOP = Racism, but this guy...

has degrees from Cornell, London School of Economics, and Georgetown making him fiscally a Wall-Street-protecting R but less likely the racist as are the general dumbass-rube officeholders in that party.

Take Louie Gohmert (Retard TX) for instances, he's probably never even heard of those schools...but I'm sure he's worn a white hood on his head at one time.

BUT when Newt sez you're too racist, Wow, tRump is crossing some lines in the party.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Buyer's remorse?

Too late. You OWN him.

[Sunlei]

7. Did we miss the Republican Convention? The Republican 'frontrunner' isn't nominated yet.

[Fuddnik]

8. They're all racists.

He just says things in public, they like to say in private.

[ffr]

12. Not only that, but they make jokes about being racist

Most every republican I know is gleefully going to vote for Drumpf, with their chests stuck out and chins held high. The fact that he's a racist is EXACTLY what they like about him, women republicans included.

What offends them about Hillary Clinton the most, is that she's a woman and a democrat. In their words, "it's not the right time to have a woman as president," but don't state why or how they came to that conclusion.

Their opinions are, not coincidentally, the same as the talking points coming from Fox Entertainment outlets. No way to HRC. No way to Bernie. But Drumpf and anyone with an R by their name can do no wrong.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Sounds similar to how Obama's blackness offended them. . . nt

[PSPS]

10. This was already posted in LBN

[Kelvin Mace]

11. And they will vote for him anyway.

If I could get a $1 for every GOP voter who will vote for HRC over Trump I could afford a Happy Meal.

[ffr]

13. Same for Bernie. It has to do with the D by their name

Putting a check next to anyone with a D is like trying to get two north facing magnets to meet. It can be done, but it's nearly impossible. That must be what it is like to be a republican in a voting booth.

[ananda]

14. Ermm.. the GOP has nominated a total racist for years.

[Skittles]

15. who are they kidding?

racism is part of the repuke party platform - what horrifies these guys now is that Donald ACTUALLY SAYS OUT LOUD WHAT THEY ARE THINKING - Donald does *NOT* do the DOG WHISTLE THING

[BigDemVoter]

19. Susan Collins is a pathetic, whiny, sack of SHIT

I almost vomited as I read Susan Collins' pathetic excuse. . . "His (Trump's) comments make it very difficult for me. It makes the decision a hard one".

A hard one? A hard one, asshole? Senator Collins you have no decency either (not that I expected any).

[Major Hogwash]

20. Kirk is currently involved in a tight race trying to be re-elected.

I don't blame him for grabbing the steering wheel of the bus to drive over Trump this way.

[Duppers]

23. I agree.

[GOLGO 13]

21. They're only sorry he's saying it in public & while being recorded.

He's saying what they only wish they had the balls to say in public. That's why he gets such high praise from the KKK.

[RussBLib]

24. finally? They aren't very bright, or observant, are they?

They were buying into Trump's nasty rhetoric as long as it suited them. I guess the Dumpster finally crossing their imaginary lines. Idiots.
