Lee denounced the result in the room in front of the 112 committee members and a large contingent of reporters, and then spoke exclusively with Yahoo News for 15 minutes afterward in a room down the hall.
In the committee meeting, Lee did not concede that Trump — who is now all but certain to be named the GOP’s nominee next Wednesday night — will in fact be the party’s choice.
“I hope whoever the nominee is going to be this time will in fact win over the delegates,” Lee said. “But rules like this are not going to help that.”
He seemed to hint at the prospect of a demonstration on the floor of the convention, noting that “as we will see in a few days” the “angst” among many anti-Trump delegates or those with serious reservations about Trump “isn’t just going to go away.”
When I asked Lee if there would be an attempted revolt on the floor of the convention, he was evasive, likely because he needs to collect his thoughts and also perhaps keep Trump’s campaign off balance.

Oh for fortitude like this against the Democrats.
Seriously, the water in UT needs checking.
Backlash? From who?
Levin and Beck?
Gees, I thought he was one of the good guys.
perhaps keep Trump’s campaign off balance.
When have they been off balance?
Can’t say I’ve see that so far.
The wagons are circled. The Indians are pouring down from the hills. And Mike Lee, instead of grabbing a rifle and fighting the Indians, chooses to attack the wagon master. The Mormons never would have got to Salt Lake City with Mike Lee in their wagon train.
What the bloody Hades does he have up his arse? Is Romney’s money and McCain’s blackmail gone that far?
Oh, by the way, maybe if he actually stopped pushing Hillary-favorable democrat oppostion points on the voters in every one of these GROPE “press releases” .... maybe, just maybe, Trump’s points would start going up?
What a scumbag Lee turned out to be.
Get over it,Mike.
You lost.
.
Will Mike lead a fart-in?
Yeah, like the backlash that will be headed the way of you and your comrades, Mike.
I know two things. Lee is the junior UT senator, the state that tried to kill off Trump’s chances of winning the primary by ‘party rules’ like Colorado, AND that the elitism of RINO conservatives is okay when they get their way, but all hell breaks loose when they don’t.
I say pull his credentials if he has any at that convention.
I noticed he’s selling a book. Why does he have to make money from a book while he’s elected?
Lee, his BFF Lyin’ YED! Cruz and the other NeverTrumpers were exposed as typical Bushie Establishmentarians wanting to reject the vote of “We the People”.
One of the positive results of the Trump campaign has been how it exposed the fraudulent scumbags in the GOP. I guess Mike Lee wants his fellow cult member Mitt to be the nominee.
First it was they had 28 votes to change the rules. NOT.
Now they threaten a backlash.
From whom will this backlash manifest itself?
Beck can go screw.
As for Levin, whom I continue to respect even though he is a pariah to most Freepers at this point, he posted on Facebook this morning that he is very enthusiastic about Trump's choice of Pence as VP. I was glad to see that, even though I would have preferred Newt.
Shut the Hell up, Mike, you useless jerk.
Lee is the junior UT senator, the state that tried to kill off Trump’s chances of winning the primary by ‘party rules’ like Colorado,
How very “authoritarian” of them.
