One more thing...is Mike Lee conservative enough for everyone here?

I’m asking because Sen. Cruz damn near caused Mike Lee to end up with a very well funded, establishment, primary opponent that probably would have beat him. It was serious enough that the Utah legislature changed some of the caucus rules here so this candidate could run against Lee. This was due to the gov’t shutdown that amounted to nothing, except for the fact that the tourism business in this state shut down with the national parks closed. It caused a ton of hardship on people here.When I say “tourism” I am not talking about Aunt Tillie and Uncle Jim coming over from neighboring Nevada for the weekend. I am talking about entire families coming over from Germany or Japan and staying for a few weeks.

It almost cost one of our most conservative Senators of all his job.

You are correct. Little has been said about the problems Mike Lee has been facing, nor does there seem to be much support given to him compared to the support he delivered.

“Sen. Cruz damn near caused Mike Lee to end up with a very well funded, establishment, primary opponent that probably would have beat him.”

How did Cruz nearly cause that?

You maybe on the wrong site FRiend, Ted Cruz had nothing to due with the National Parks being closed. That was Obama, I mean blocking the WW2 Memorial, the overlook to Mt Rushmore?? I guess standing on your principles is not allowed, I blame the GOPe for caving and being worried they weren’t going be invited to the cocktail parties.
