“I have no intention of returning to those people who I rely on to keep me in office and telling them I had some part in shredding their votes,” Little said.

A question mark going into Thursday had been Utah Sen. Mike Lee. He spent the weeks leading up to the convention weighing both sides of the unbinding argument, he said, and insiders had thought he might be able to tip a narrow margin either way with an impassioned speech, given his stature.
Instead, Lee was on the losing side in every contentious fight, including unbinding, despite his vocal support.
“I say to Mr. Trump and those aligned with him, make the case, make the case to those delegates who want to have a voice,” Lee said during Thursday’s session, raising his voice. “Don’t make the case that their voices should be silenced. That’s not going to help, that’s not going to help make him president that’s not going to help our party in the long run.”
Only 10 others joined him and his wife.
Afterwards, Lee was coy about next steps, saying only: “We’ll see,” he told inquisitive reporters.
Seems Mike Lee was the only person of substance to pointlessly fall on his sword in support of Lyin Ted. And the never Trump tantrums cost us any hope of real reform of the RNC. How pathetic is that?
We’ll get the changes next time, at least I hope. One step at a time for right now.
