SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Mike Lee received a phone call Monday from President Donald Trump telling him he would not be his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, the Deseret News has learned.

Lee, R-Utah, wouldn't discuss details of the conversation other than to confirm he wasn't Trump's choice but that he would attend the president's prime-time announcement of his pick.

Hahahaha! That’s really the only thing he had going for him. How about getting with the program? Why don’t you jump on the team and come on in for the big win? Cruz did that in 2016. Now you.

Like he was ever in serious contention anyway.

Trumps MO is to make those who did him wrong in the past feel like they still have a chance.

Trump strings them along (Mitt now Mike) and at the last minute turns his back and never calls them again.

That’s how you stay above it and still carve your initials in their chest.

People like Lee should be looking over their shoulders all day, every day. I listened to an audio of a chapter from one of PDJT’s books yesterday having to do with revenge. Always get even. Keep a list. If they punch you, you punch back harder. It was brutal. October could be interesting if we’re waiting for a big October Surprise from Trump. Or more than one.

With Susan Collins and Rand Paul against him, numbers don’t look good.

Lee should be relieved.

This will leave it wide open for McMuffin and him in 2020.

Did he say "hey Mike, remember all that "never Trump" bullshit you spewed?

Be careful what you wish for Mike.
And ALWAYS engage brain before opening your mouth and spewing your idiocy.

Utah will always elect somebody wearing an R jersey, but they will still be Morons in favor of open borders.

It will be the same with Brett also, his Bush affiliation will never be forgotten. Put forth the rinos fav, let Dems tear him to pieces. Dems will drag this Borking through midterms. Trump will get midterm votes he needs and then he will put forth his real choice, Amy Barrett. IMO.

Like I said Trump was just yanking his chain, like when he interviewed Romney for SecState—twice!
