Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah laid out his case for why he hasn’t yet endorsed Donald Trump, openly airing his concerns about the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s controversial stances heading into the general election.
When asked why he’s not on the trail “trumpeting Trump,” Mr. Lee vented his frustrations and greivances with Mr. Trump to NewsMaxTV’s Steve Malzberg.
“Hey, look Steve, I get it. You want me to endorse Trump. We can get into that if you want,” said Mr. Lee. “We can get into the fact that he accused my best friend’s father of conspiring to kill JFK” — referring to Mr. Trump circulating a supermarket tabloid report that somehow Sen. Ted Cruz’s dad was in league with Lee Harvey Oswald.
He continued: “We can go through the fact that he’s made some statements that some have identified correctly as religiously intolerant. We can get into the fact that he’s wildly unpopular in my state, in part because my state consists of people who are members of a religious minority church. A people who were ordered exterminated by the governor of Missouri in 1838. And statements like that make them nervous.”Read the rest of the story HERE.

I only wish he had gone further. We need more people in congress to get a spine and start telling the unvarnished truth about Trump. There's still time to ditch Trump.
Mike Lee is one of the brightest stars in Congress. A true statesman.
This will be his last term, unfortunately.

What kind of candidate calls the wife of another candidate ugly?
What kind of candidate calls a female opponent ugly?
What kind of candidate accuses the father of an opposing candidate of involvement in the assassination of JFK without a shred of evidence?
Trump is a complete moron. And his appeal is to morons. They don't care about the truth or the facts. When he tells them he will punish China or make Mexico pay for a wall, they have no idea what complete idiocy that really is. They just cry for more.
Not to mention the bigotry, racism, etc. He's singing their song. How pathetic.

Lee is a bumbling clod, who is very unpopular in Utah. Trump supporters should not vote for him next time he runs. In fact we should do that to every politician who doesn't get behind Trump.
