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.

Supporting his fellow Mormon Romney
The gall of these people: Vote your conscience, delegates, and screw the will of the voters, workers and contributors who sent you here.
It is amazing how self-delusional people can become when money and power are at stake.
He, Cruz and Romney and a few others must’ve gone to the same school for sissies who just refuse to grow up. Pathetic.
He's the boil on the butt of the "Make America Great Again" movement.
I was so fooled by Lee : (
Lee is irrelevant and has blown a potentially good career.
Every move he makes will sink him quicker.
GOPe show class around Democrats... another story when it is the constituents and Trump. Then it is vile wife beater mode.
It sounds like the Mormons are planning Operation Mountain Meadows Massacre Redux.
What is Mike Lee’s problem? I thought he was a principled Constitutional Conservative whose only flaw was staying by his friend Ted Cruz’s side too long. Now it seems that he is firmly committed to The Dark Side.
I always thought that Mormonism was more similar to Islam than Christianity.
I think it is simply that he is aware of their attempted stealth manipulations and infiltrations. Their hysterical animosity towards Trump is a thing in his favor, IMO.
Was his relatives at Mountain Meadows?
A few years ago I respected Mormoms, that respect is GONE.
I will put up my record for consistently championing the values of the Founding Fathers against the false paths of the past century, against anyone now living; and Donald Trump is basically, both instinctively & pragmatically, a genuine Conservative. This does not mean that I deny he has in years past, flippantly given lip service to certain inconsistent popular contemporary notions. But his true Conservatism shines through as he revisits the subjects, with full as opposed to flippant notice.
Donald Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.
Mile Lee needs to get off his 'high horse,' smell the morning coffee and get on board. America is the ultimate issue.
“What did Trump do to upset so many Mormons?”
Mormoms love Cheap Labor, besides, the illegals will eventually be their minions on their imaginary planets when they are Gods.
They have been tepid all along. I wonder if they weren’t expecting Mitt to ride in on a white horse and save the day.
PLEASE LET THEIR BE “BACKLASH*
It will help let us know who the RINO’s are.
Since Cruz has previously endorsed Pence, and one must assume Lee would have agreed with that, it will be interesting if either actually has the male genes to strongly urge folks to vote for Trump....
It appears that Cruz “psy-opped” him along with Beck, Levin and others.
