OK this is strange. I was thinking before: "What has happened to Mike Lee [from Utah]" as I've not heard from this once reliable and independent conservative for a while.

So I did a news search and found that he is spearheading the Senate's budget resolution on spending (the one many here are not exactly comfortable with) and Americans for Prosperity are promoting him.

I found it really strange he's completely the opposite of his friend Rand Paul who is voting against it.

Has Mike Lee sold out his principles? Why isn't he voting with Rand on this? It makes a huge difference in the perennial 50/50 Senate

Look at this from a local newspaper

He’s going on foreign trips with the VP .

Don’t get me wrong I like both of them but they have got to Mike Lee in terms of his vote. That much is clear.

Disappointing...

You are unbelievable. If you’re not trashing Trump and his ideas to cut trade deficits via tariffs, then you’re here now applauding Rand Paul for his opposition to Trump’s tax cuts for Americans.

Tell me again how you’re not a TDS troll.
