Senator Lee was rooting for his buddy Lying Ted. That was the reason he has been anti-Trump. That and he considers himself a “real” conservative just like Mark Levin.
These “real” conservatives have achieved close to zero in congress. But they consider themselves “principled” conservatives. Yeah sure, so show us some results. Otherwise you are all a dud in the real world.
And soon we will have another “real conservative.” Mitt Romney. Great. Just great.../
“These “real” conservatives have achieved close to zero in congress. But they consider themselves “principled” conservatives. “
The “principled conservative” senators won’t even speak up about all the bad stuff going on against Trump and all the rabble rousing. They should be screaming bloody murder about Maxine Waters considering the near-slaughter at the baseball field last year. They are a little better than worthless. At least Rand Paul still wants to do something about health care.
Maybe.
Another possibility is that he, along with fellow Mormons Jason Chaffetz and Utah governor Herbert, with their vocal opposition to Trump were aiming toward Romney being anointed as the consensus compromise candidate.
Timing of Mike Lee revealing his vote for Evan McMuffin is interesting to say the least. Why now?
Maybe Lee thinks this revelation will shore up his ‘principled conservative’ cred, that would be my guess.
Just in case Trump is ever considering him, that is Mike’s way of saying he will be a principled conservative vote on the SC bench.
