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.

FUML...and the flea bitten Mitt you rode in on!
Bite me Mike. You just sealed your doom. Very stupid on his part.
Me thinks Lee doth protest too much.
It kind of makes me wonder what he’s got to lose by a Trump nomination. Is he so dependent on the Washington gravy train that 4 or 8 years of Trump is life threatening?
Nice analogy.
LOL, the media just can’t let go. They will keep reporting this crap until Trump in inaugurated.
MSM...Give it a rest...it’s over...dead...gone. Learn to live with it.

needs to be primaried
Mike Lee looks like a failure right now. I don’t understand why he feels so intimidated by Trump. He says he’s concerned about Trump becoming an autocrat, but I think his fears are unfounded.
If he were to succeed with his crap, he would find out what backlash looks like.
At one time I thought Mike Lee was on our side.
I was wrong.
The multi-national politicians need to all be removed before they give away the country.
Trump can’t do it alone.
Mike Lee is a despicable prick. Win over the delegates? That’s what the primaries were for you stupid moron. And your butt buddy lost fair and square
I’m serious asking this question. What did Trump do to upset so many Mormons? Do any of his business compete with established Mormon owned companies? You can normally follow the money to solve many a mystery.
The Cheap Labor Express is what is threatened by Trump.
The Mormon church wants the illegal alien inundation to continue unabated.
I’m so steamed at him right now, that I’m voting for the tranny!
And no, I’m not kidding.
Well that is actually great to hear!
Must have been given directions to the GOPe money train. Best government that money can buy.
So afraid Trump will derail their access to the dollars that everyone is scared that they won’t become millionaires like their elites before them.
The Mormon church is fully committed to open borders.
Go to his Twitter page and urge him to support our nominee. #NeverHillary
Who is Mike Lee?
It is worse than that, my friend.
They have convinced their “flock” that a religious minority like the Mormons should have sympathy for another religious minority...the Muslims. As though these groups are identical and should be treated no differently!
I’ve got a feeling there is going to be a backlash alright! These idiots think our vote doesn’t matter and that only they know what we need!!!! Yes, there will definitely be a backlash!!
