Senator Mike Lee makes surprise endorsement of Donald Trump days before Iowa caucus

[Swordsmyth]

Senator Mike Lee endorsed Donald Trump for president live on Fox News' Ingraham Angle. This comes only days ahead of the Iowa caucus date of January 15.

"The American people have a choice to make," Lee said, noting that it is a historical opportunity to choose between two presidents. In Lee's view, America first is the way to go.

"Donald Trump has kept his promises," he said. And said that Trump was the man to get behind.

"I wholeheartedly endorse Donald Trump in his bid for the presidency in 2024."

"Whether you like Trump or not, Americans face a binary choice," Lee said in a post on X a short time later. "Biden refuses to enforce our border, prosecutes his opponents, & embraces policies that make life unaffordable for hardworking Americans."

"I'll take the mean tweets," he added. "I choose Trump."

Trump or Nikki, make your choice.
Mike made the right one, and so did Rand.

Sad to see him sell out again. The good guys should just keep quiet and not say anything.

Its Biden or Trump. If you don't see that, you're delusional. Glad to see Mike Lee is sane. If you hate Trump, just don't vote and go back to your voter apathy ways, like Ron Paul can still win days.

I never said Trump wasn't going to win the nomination, in fact just the opposite. Nice try though.

Glad to see Mike Lee is sane.

There is nothing "sane" about endorsing a guy who is already going to win the primary, and it being someone who doesn't care about the Constitution or smaller government or individual rights in general when the person giving such endorsement claims to hold such beliefs. Mike should have just kept his mouth shut because this was completely unnecessary.

And when Rand Paul said 2 days ago: "I've had a long relationship with Donald Trump, and there's a lot to like there"

You must have had a mini heart attack. Although Rand also previously endorsed Mitch McConnell. You call him a sell-out too? I bet I can find quotes from Ron saying good things about Trump. It seems we have an entire site devoted to sell outs that should keep their mouths shut.

There is a lot to like about Trump. There is also a lot NOT to like.

Yep, Rand also has a long history of bad endorsements.

There's more to like than not like.
And he's the only weapon we have against the uniparty with any hope of destroying it.
Endorsing him is the only sane option.

Thinking fascist-flavored socialism is better than communist-flavored socialism is not a sane, rational act.

Found a pic of you...

I don't support someone who violates to my rights. Trump raised taxes and violated the 2nd Amendment. He did some good things too, but I don't compromise or sell out. Voting for the "lesser of the evils" is how we have gotten where we are today.

And he's the only weapon we have against the uniparty with any hope of destroying it.

LOL, no, not happening. The status quo will stay, the US is a 2 party system (unfortunately) and will continue to remain that way for the foreseeable feature. Study some history. Now that being said, yes Trump has largely been anti-establishment but not completely. He was the best President in my life time (not a high threshold). But he also fed the deep state quite a bit.

Endorsing him is the only sane option.

LOL, you must be new here.

 

[oyarde]

Not really sure what Lees angle is here , trump doesnt need any endorsments to win Iowa and in Iowa there would be few Lee supporters.

 

[Anti Globalist]

Doubtful Trump needed this endorsement to win Iowa.

Did it buy Lee any political capital or pull with Trump?

Seems to me that most of the Lee "endorsement" was an attack on Biden, which every Republican should be able to get behind.

"Whether you like Trump or not, Americans face a binary choice," Lee said in a post on X a short time later. "Biden refuses to enforce our border, prosecutes his opponents, & embraces policies that make life unaffordable for hardworking Americans."

Probably not. It would be nice if it did though. I'd much rather have Trump listening to people like Mike Lee than Mike Pompeo.

He won't be listening to Massie.

Donald Trump might face a real opposition by the time FL happens.
We all will see if HALEY or DESANTIS hangs in there and goes for the top
prize in the big money presidential sweepstakes that DJT swims in...
