Mike Lee(R-Utah) said Wednesday that he is not ready to endorse presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump
"I have not supported Donald Trump up to this point, I have not endorsed him," Lee said, according to The Washington Examiner.
"I have some concerns with him. He scares me to death; so does Hillary Clinton
. There is no easy choice right now." Lee had previously endorsed Ted Cruz
, before the Texas senator ended his presidential bid earlier this month. At the time, he said Cruz had a "proven record of fighting for our conservative values and for the issues that matter most to Americans."
The Utah senator said he plans to continue following the election and will make a choice in the future.
"I'll make the decision as best I can," he said, "but I'm not there yet."
Lee now joins several other Republican leaders, who have said they are not ready to endorse Trump or said that they don't plan to vote for the presumptive nominee in a general election.
Speaker Paul Ryan said last week that he was "just not ready" to endorse the presumptive GOP nominee.
But that is my point... we keep naming these “champions” who keep letting us down... or we tear them down ourselves. Reagan is the only one in the last 40 years who help up long-term. ONLY ONE. I think this says much more about us than it does about the guys we continue to get stabbed by.
And this is ESPECIALLY true this year, as ANYONE who isn’t 100% behind Trump in all ways and for all time is declared to be a RINO and treasonous and more.
.........................................................
The POINT is: Where have all these stab-in-the-back people come from? They have ALL come from the Political ranks. Politicians All, and Far too many lawyers to boot! Where was the vetting of Rubio and Cruz who are respectively an anchor baby and a Canadian? All the hoopla about Obama being a foreigner led to nothing because the politicians on both sides wouldn’t touch the question! TRUMP posed the Question about Obama. Trump posed the question about Cruz. WHERE were all the Conservatives who tout the constitution? Nowhere to be found. And yet these same purists doubt Trump’s understanding of the constitution!!!!!
Secondly, in any race, or any competition in real life, you don’t stop running just because you are ahead, and you DO NOT shout derogatory and inflammatory comments at your own team member.
Be careful, Teacher317, that you’re not thrown off the team.
The Constitution only works for a moral and religious people and that ain't us anymore.
We knew that for certain when that ditsy little girl asked Clinton; Boxers or briefs?
The instant you called me blind was the instant I stopped caring.
For someone who claims to be so smart, you’d think that you’d know not to insult your audience.
Sheesh.
It’s time for Lee and all the others to quite being scaredy cats, and grow up. Do they want Hillary or not?
Pig in a poke
AND NO CANDIDATE IN DECADES IS A BIGGER PIG IN A POKE THAN DONALD TRUMP!!!!!!!!!
The fact that most of his ardent supporters cannot see this or admit it is extremely troubling.
..........................................................
Most of Trump’s supporters live in the real world, not in the ivory tower where you seem to reside.
We cannot abide your constant harping on “holding Trump’s feet to the fire.” We do NOT agree that he is unmolded clay. The man has made his mark in the world, both nationally and internationally. No INTELLIGENT person would expect him to be without flaw.
We accept him as he is and KNOW, for a change, we WILL see some of our wishes come true, even if not all. It has been a very long time since ANY of our wishes have been heard or adhered to by our elected officials. I expect Trump to take a wrecking ball to the establishment and will help him do it. Just be careful you’re not in one of those towers that will be the first to fall.
I believe that they do.
Bingo.
None with the guts to stand up for the country.
All of them. Gone. Kick them out. Never let them back in.
Some were, probably the same group that were ecstatic over Romney.
+1
Good grief teach, get over it Cruz lost and the democrats do not need help with opposition research.
That was before LYIN RYAN gave us the MIDDLE FINGER with HIS BUDGET!!!! EVERYONE needs to realize it WAS HIS budget, he was the HEAD of the budget committee HE WROTE that DAMNED BUDGET!!!! HE LIED about it being passed down to him!!!! He IS a GLOBALIST he NEEDS TO GO!!!!
Don't be silly McCain assured us that we had nothing to fear from this man, Barak Obama.

“That just a bizarre response, my trumpa”
No it’s not. It illustrates precisely what you’re doing, as does your reply.
And you still don’t seem to care that JimRob asked for the name calling to cease. I suppose seniority really does have its privileges.

Is Miike under investigation?
I was gonna ask - isn’t he part of the wearing of magic protective underwear? Isn’t that enough?
You forgot Ben Sasse.
