Mike Lee(R-Utah) said Wednesday that he is not ready to endorse presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump
"I have not supported Donald Trump up to this point, I have not endorsed him," Lee said, according to The Washington Examiner.
"I have some concerns with him. He scares me to death; so does Hillary Clinton
. There is no easy choice right now." Lee had previously endorsed Ted Cruz
, before the Texas senator ended his presidential bid earlier this month. At the time, he said Cruz had a "proven record of fighting for our conservative values and for the issues that matter most to Americans."
The Utah senator said he plans to continue following the election and will make a choice in the future.
"I'll make the decision as best I can," he said, "but I'm not there yet."
Lee now joins several other Republican leaders, who have said they are not ready to endorse Trump or said that they don't plan to vote for the presumptive nominee in a general election.
Speaker Paul Ryan said last week that he was "just not ready" to endorse the presumptive GOP nominee.
I guess strong men scare him. Sounds like a wuss.
Was Mike Lee hiding under his bed when he gave this interview?
He sounds like a coward.
My opinion of Mike Lee just went through the floor with metrosexual comment. What a lightweight.
Now THAT’s funny!
It’s called the “silly season” for a good reason.
And Obama didn’t???
If Trump scares him, he needs to resign his office, turn in his man card, and disappear forever. Puzzy.
So, Mikey, just tip over.
Scared of what? Lost war? Suckful economy ? 100 million Americans not working ? Cities rioting? 10 trillion in new debt? Wtf? This guys a drama queen masquerading as a stalwart.
That’s WHY WE VOTED FOR HIM!!
Do males actually think saying ‘I’m scared’ makes for support? It sends a message to me that they are snowflakes, Pajama Boys and Drama Queens. I guess for my generation, the one whose fathers fought in WWII, this is embarrassing and, frankly, disgusting.
I just don’t get it.
They fully realize it. They would far rather lose to Hillary than win with Trump. Trump might upset their applecart of corrupt government deals with special interests like Bush's & Dole's deals with Archer Daniels Midlands to use ethanol in our motor fuel in spite of the fact that it uses more fossil energy to produce ethanol than you get back out of it.
Heresy!
Just another Republican idiot. Trump scares them but Obama does not? There is no hope for Lee. He needs mental help.
Mike Lee was at the anti-Trump cabal meeting at The Sea Island, GA resort on the first weekend of March.
Never forget.
Mike Lee (well, Mike Lee’s establishment attitude) scares me.
Do they seriously think this is getting them ANYTHING but microphone face time in front of a liberal media that despises them.
FUDC
That’s not it.
Trump’s style doesn’t play well with Mormons.
Mormons tend to be over apologetic and always obsessing about not offending anyone. Trump is the opposite.
Mike Lee and Romney oppose Trump for the same reason.
“They think that the Hilldebeeste will be soooo much better than Trump.”
For what they want she is, they all support the leftist agenda, ALL OF THEM.

Nope it’s worse, at least the left believes in and sticks to their agenda, and are willing to vote their agenda even if it means losing seats, our guys believe in little except protecting their personal positions, and remaining as the opposition party, cause it’s easier to be against something than take a risk and lose. And why the lefts agenda always wins.
