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.

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.
