Utah Sen. Mike Lee plans to endorse Ted Cruz Thursday, making him the first U.S. senator to back the Texas senator's presidential bid, sources told POLITICO.
In a blow to Marco Rubio, whose campaign is on life support as he seeks to avoid a knock-out blow in his home state Tuesday, Lee is expected to make the announcement in Rubio’s hometown of Miami ahead of Thursday night’s GOP debate.
-snip-
Lee is close with both senators, and he had resisted jumping into the race and potentially alienating one of them. He sat down with Rand Paul, Rubio and Cruz as the presidential campaign got underway one year ago and told them: “Look: I’m in an awkward spot because I’m really close to all three of you guys.”
“One of the weirdest things that can happen to a person is to have his three favorite co-workers all running for president of the United States at one time,” Lee said during a December interview. “It’s just weird.”
But that neutrality waned as Trump rose and Rubio faltered. With crucial primary votes in just five days, the chairman of the Senate GOP’s conservative Steering Committee still has a chance to make a difference in the race.
Cruz's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Lee's office declined to comment.

How have the mighty fallen.
Please. Not you, too, DoughtyOne?
Did you really post..”Stabby and the flame throwing dancer boy...”
What does that mean?
Trump said everything is negotiable.
This Texan believes the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments for you low information voters, are not negotiable.
LOL
boy you old times get grouchy :)
get more fiber.
Another Mormon taking orders from Bishop Romney
“Now stepping to the plan ... Stan Knuckersall ... batting 0.010 ... yeah, he’s had a tough year Bill but he really has the momentum on his side. Look for him by the end of the season to be the MVP and capture the batting title.”
This is an answer to Cruz thread. Any objections?
You smell fear from the wrong direction if Cruz is so desperate to leave TRUMP and go instead, after his supporters.
You picked up the wrong scent. Change location.
or to believe a thing Trump says. Not many Cruzer’s will rally around Drumpf if he wins the general. Too many lies and insults from the Don and his frenzied followers
Cruz, I’m a flaming Rubio consorting Bush lovin’ fancy pants defeater of Trump for the GOPe.
Mike Lee is the only Senator with a 100% conservative rating.
I agree.
Some things are not negotiable.
People here have chipped away at their own convictions and their own moral sense to justify the things Trump has done.
They think he will keep his wild promises.
He won’t.
But the scary thing is... they really think that Trump cares about the average guy ... the little people.
Trump worships himself and has nothing but contempt for the little guy.
I think you may be lost. All of that made no sense.
Quite true.
Dang it all.
I have put up with a lot to stay in this forum and support Ted Cruz.
I have read approximately ten thousand nasty, meaningless posts totally lacking in substance.
Somebody should give me a medal.
Those ratings aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.
Same with polls : )
Cruz was imitating his young daughter. Big deal.
ok....I missed the “stabby” connection....what is that?
