Durbin has been sucking on the public teat since 1982. A disgusting person. Hopefully a medical emergency will erase him from the gene pool.
The only twisted plus that would come from a rabid lunatic leftist replacing little dick Durbin would the accelerating of the demise of Illinois.
It needs to hit bottom before people vote smarter. And a lunatic leftist senator would do that.
Dirtbag Durbin a high water mark of integrity for Democrats? Durbin was in on every hoax and fake impeachment effort of PDJT and his colleagues. Durbin has the integrity of a hyena.
