1. The last remaining moderate Republicans have endorsed Clinton.

Kirk is as racist as Trump and the Alt-Right.

2. OMFG! What a douche! nt

[Bucky]

3. We all have those demons in our heads... Disciplining the self is being civilized

It's so sad to see the ugly come out in people who heretofor was civilized

[prarie deem]

4. I am from Illinois and

I hate Kirk. But he is not alt right. He is one of the more moderate of the righties. I imagine he is getting desperate because Tammy is kicking his ass all over the state. Don't get me wrong - I am not defending him or anything he says - I want him out. But he is not alt right.

6. Wow!

What a foul person. I'm sure she handled it well but no one should have to deal with that kind of racist crap.

Holy shit. @MarkKirk who has lied about his military record just falsely accused @TammyforIL of lying about hers #ILSEN

That remark by @markkirkhq about @TammyforIL's ancestry is about the lowest thing I've seen in a debate
