Dear Mike Lee, you are a mormon. Go away. Thanks.
No, not a senator.
We could all be spared the visit to each Senator’s office get acquainted, since he already knows everyone...
Wasn’t Lee caught up in scandal a year or so ago, then disappeared from public. I seriously doubt he could pass scrutiny. Besides, the last thing we need is a politician on the supreme court. Give us a credible jurist.
He can’t. We can’t spare the vote. With McCain withholding representation for the people of Arizona we can not spare a single vote.
Lee is an Originalist and has impeccablet credentials, sure. But there’s another reason to appoint him, provided that he is one of the top-ranking candidates: he’s a Mormon. Appoinging Mike Lee would neutralize any opposition from Jeff Flake.
Never give up a solid Senate seat. There are 24 other choices.
...and Lyn’ Ted’s endorsement is kiss of death.
Cruz claimed today that he got Lee on Trump’s list in a deal with Trump for Cruz’ support in the 2016 election.
Wasn’t he one of those anti-Trump sleazeballs at the convention? If so, F him.
Why risk taking a popular Senator out, and having a special election to replace him, when there are so many other choices.
As the prime example of that mistake, I give you Jeff Sessions. Trump should not do that again (and, no, I don’t think that Mike Lee would be a do-nothing like Sessions, but the point still remains to NOT make that mistake again).

And we get another Romney in his place?
No, thank you!
I’m really just not interested anyway. Better options elsewhere on Trump’s list.
He could be an option if at some point down the road there is a problem with the Senate confirming Trump’s choice—the club is loath to vote against its own members. But not needed now, so shouldn’t be used up now.
Frankly as long as the nominee is in the mold of a Scalia I want the youngest one possible.
Nope.
No, thanks.
Not ever.
There are plenty of appellate court judges with known records.
Mike Lee and his Utah Supreme Court brother are Harry Reid stooges.
It could be a problem. If he’s nominated, that changes the score in the Senate to 50-49, and with democrats john mccain, susan collins and jeff flake, it really becomes 47-52 in democrat party’s favor.
Mccain no longer has to pretend to be a conservative since he’s not facing any more elections so he can shed his camouflage, and flake is still auditioning for a gig on MSNBC, and collins...well, she’s just hopeless.
No. The author is crazy.
