Looks Like Kirk Just Conceded The Illinois Senate Race to Tammy Duckworth [View all]

Seriously, WTF? Who SAYS things like this in 2016 in front of a TV camera?

Okay Democrats, looks like you won't have to spend any more money on Senator Duckworth. You can divert some extra funds to Florida.

UPDATE: Well, I might have spoken too soon. Looks like Jason Chafetz just saved his ass by stepping on today's headline about Kirk, and replacing it with the bogus story about Comey 're-opening' the email investigation.

"GOTCHA!"
