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.
Mike Lee needs to be sent to a safe place for snowflakes like back home for good.
What a wonderful thing, the masks just keep coming off.
Trump should scare you to death, Mr. Lee....remember Harry Reid, you, Shallow and Jeremy Johnson...the Grand Jury here in Utah is looking into all of this, your butt buddy Cruz is going to stab you in the back...
And Obama didn’t scare Mike Lee? He knuckled under to every demand Obama made.
Good thing that they’re all scared to death of Donald. It’s the mood of We The People they better fear as well? Go Trump 2016.
So ... what country have YOU chosen to live in, Mike ?
The corruption in our government already scares the HELL out of me-—the SCOTUS THREW out our Constitution decades ago-—the more bizarre “Laws”, the better—where our “moral” system (Marxist Faith) is forcing our little children to “think” Boys are Girls, Men are Women (pure Marxism to destroy the Natural Family and emotional health of ALL children) and remove Science/Biology/Objective Truth from the Minds of Children.
Our WHOLE “Justice” System is now an IRRATIONAL Vice System (unconstitutional, Mr. Lee) and as Cicero stated-—promoting vice in a “just Law” will collapse culture.
That is the purpose of the psychopathic sodomites who control culture and force their indoctrination in our public schools (unconstitutional, Mr. Lee) to destroy critical thinking in ALL of our children. (Without Virtue, Freedom (Free Will (choice)) is impossible.
Mike Lee should be SCARED TO DEATH, that we are forcing men into women’s BATHROOMS and pretending males sodomizing each other is “Marriage” and we FORCE that concept on our children now to destroy Reason and Logic and Virtue formation.
We are trying to FORCE Marxism (irrationality/”Slavery is Freedom”), over our Christian Justice System where Right Reason and Natural Laws are supposed to RULE.——not irrational base urges to sodomize others (paganism/tribalism/irrationality).
To erase Common Sense-—is to ERASE THE CONSTITUTION-—and our GOD+Given RIGHTS and making Man into god-—removes our ENTIRE Justice System to the irrational socialist SLAVE/tribal systems.
Mr. Lee-—the destruction of our Justice System should have FRIGHTED you to DEATH, years ago.
Trump is the ONLY one who is NOT BOUGHT and OWNED by the elite sodomites. Will he be our savior-—probably NOT-—but he CAN’T be worse than what we have in our government right now....people who allow our Constitution to be entirely REMOVED.
Little do they know how conservatives feel about Ryan, the amnesty guy who favors trade deals that hurt American workers.
How can a lifetime govt employee living off people's tax money ever be considered a conservative? Rather than an accomplished person from the private sector enters govt for a term or two and then returns to private life - the true conservative model.
He is one of these "Govt jobs for me but not for thee" types. Also, because Mormons have this religion that states the American Indians were the lost Jews - the LDS church is sympathetic to importing illegals from Latin America.
There is no easy choice right now.
Shades of McCain v. Obama and Romney v. Obama. Tought choice for you, Senator Lee? Welcome to the club.
How many of us Christians supported Romney? Now all these Mormons (Romney, Beck, Lee, Hatch) won’t support our (presumptive) nominee? Not only refusing to endorse, but trying to continue to defeat him even after the fat lady has sung.
It must be their undergarments are too tight, cutting off circulation to their balls.
Yes. Senator Jeff Sessions and Rep. Duncan Hunter who happily endorse Trump!
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as his choice to become the next president of the United States Thursday afternoon.
Lee appeared at a campaign rally with Cruz in Cora Gables, Florida. Lee said that Cruz is “unstoppable,” hinted that other senators will soon endorse him, and called on Marco Rubio to drop out of the presidential race.
“Trump is going to pee into the DC graft gravy train. That’s what scares him.”
Exactly.
Republican leaders?!?!?!?
Bwahahahahahaha!
As comprehensive a list as Famous Italian Army Generals of World War II.
You’re right,Molly.
Love both those guys.
Lee is just another disappointment.
Trump is the GOP’s last hope for survival—they just can’t accept it.
Lee was the first senator who came out for Cruz after a long delay. It sounds like Lee is a surrogate of Cruz still fighting Trump's nomination. Lee and Cruz scare me. They are unhinged suffering from TDS.
I used to respect Mike Lee. Thought his Cruz endorsement was to support his friend. Now, not so much. It’s a pretty sad statement about his judgement that he’s afraid of Trump but not Cruz.
What a shame. Another shining light of hope for Constitutional Conservatives has been infected by DC fever.
...........................................................
I agree. I had hopes for him too, but he has shown his weaknesses fairly early. Another sell out to the Washington cartel.
Good....
Politicians have been insulated from the FEAR that most of us suffer from on a daily basis.
If nothing else, Trump will WAKE THEM UP!
What’s up with Utah?
