Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who is on Donald Trump's lengthy short list for Supreme Court nominees, revealed Wednesday that he voted for independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin.

"It was a protest vote," he told an audience at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute in Salt Lake City, acknowledging he didn't know McMullin well, or much about him.

"I had signaled in the past concerns that I had with my party's nominee. I've made no secret about that and I don't feel any desire to rehearse those now.… I saw in Evan McMullin an opportunity to register a protest vote."

Lee previously has said he would not vote for Trump, but until Wednesday declined to say who would get his vote.

McMullin finished third in Utah, behind Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

#NeverTrumps need not apply. #NeverTrumps would have filled the CLINTON Supreme Court with three by now!

So he voted for Hillary. Get this punk off the SC short list now.

Provided the GOP can move the process quickly and get done before November, why not nominate a sacrificial lamb to receive the first rush of Democrat rage, lies and nay votes, then play the victim and insist they approve of the next (conservative) nominee?

The problem I have with those who INITIALLY were against Trump, is that they are not smart enough to recognize how other countries have screwed us on trade and MOST ARE for some form of amnesty. Sure now that they have seen how Trump is succeeding, they are acting different.
