Lee is responding to the very strong revulsion of tramp by Mormans. Many will stay home rather than vote for tramp. Polls show that with tramp heading the ticket, Utah will turn blue in November.

True that. The Latter Day Saints don’t much care for the Present Day Taint.

It’s pretty clear why: for the past 15 years, since Bush, the Republican party has been hijacked by conservatives, whose philosophy demands cutting taxes for the wealthy and paying for the loss of revenue by cutting social benefits. They don’t campaign on that premise, however, because it’s unpopular. Rather, they campaign on social issues such as abortion and gay rights, and now bathrooms. But when they get into office, they cut taxes on the wealthy and cut benefits; they are hawks who don’t want to pay for their ambitions with new revenue.

While he’s a carnival barker, up until now Trump has eschewed that dichotomy. Instead, he speaks of issues that matter to his constituency: immigration, racism, America First. This is a direct threat to the Republican party, because it exposes their hypocrisy and will tend to crowd out the right wing nut jobs.

It’s really interesting to watch, if you’re not a Republican.

Except Mrs. Clinton isn’t likely to tank the economy like a failed casino, or lead the country into a nuclear showdown with “them Muslims”.

Mike Lee:

I have some concerns with [Trump]. He scares me to death …

Well, Sen. Lee, now you know how the rest of America feels about you and the guy you endorsed - Ted Cruz.

I don’t know how someone who endorsed Ted Cruz has the chutzpah to complain about any other candidate being scary.

I’ll take this. Not voting for Trump is half a vote for Hillary, despite Lee’s attempt to be scared neutral.

I want as big a victory as possible this November, and conservative true believers have a role to play in securing that.

Yeah, don’t vote for Trump. More GOPers need to discover their patriotism.

Definitions of the following:

What is a republican?

What is a conservative?

“so does Hillary Clinton.”

To Republicans, Democrats are simultaneously feckless weaklings who can’t stand up to our enemies and monstrously destructive tyrants trampling America. It’s an impressive piece of Orwellian Doublethink that’s entirely worthy of being in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

A Blue Utah vote would be delicious, even considering the small number of Electoral College Votes.

Well they are loosing another leg of their stool, Abortion Rates Drop To Historic Low In Wealthy Countries. Earlier they lost on “marriage” as being only for straight Xtains. So they are in need of developing an alternative hence the “bathroom” non-story controversy.

Speaking of Caribou Barbie, has she been unleashed to threaten Lee with a primary yet?

Senator Lee, your obstructionist approach to governance as part of an overreaching GOP political strategy; your demonizing a sitting President of the United States for no other reason than his race; and your trying to shove a religious fanatic down the throats of Americans is why Trump is the candidate from your party. You helped create this monster with your political actions and now you better own it, or your state will see you for what you are: a political sycophant of the GOP, not someone who should be in a position of power or authority in the Senate.

Congratulations to you for your gift to America, sir, now I hope you choke on it! Sadly, you and your GOP pals will force the rest of us to suffer right along with you.

Love watching these “I’m not there yet!” Republican Cult baggers and cons writhe, hesitate and cringe while sizing each other up.
