GOP Senator: Don’t Tell Me I Shouldn’t Be Concerned About Trump
Source: Huffington Post
Dont sit here and tell me, Steve, that I have no reason to be concerned about Donald Trump, Lee added.
Lee explained there was no possibility hed vote for Clinton, and Trump could certainly still win his vote. But first, Lee said hed need to believe the businessman would be a vigorous defender for the U.S. Constitution.
I would like some assurances ... that hes not going to be an autocrat, that hes not going to be an authoritarian, that hes not somebody whos going to abuse a document that I have sworn to uphold and defend and protect, Lee said.
Im sorry, Sir, but that is not an unreasonable demand.

Unbelievable. If you have to ASK for a candidate for President to declare
his support for the U.S. Constitution and assure in essence that he won't
be a dictator, you have a candidate who is totally unsuited for the nation's
highest office.
To even ask these questions, is to answer them.

I have to say Johnson is a hell of a lot better than Trump. Were I stupid enough to be Republican, that's where my vote would go.

(70,567 posts)Because as a a vigorous defender for the U.S. Constitution, you should want
it to be followed shouldn't you?
From wiki
Article Two of the United States Constitution requires the President of the United States to nominate Supreme Court Justices and, with Senate confirmation, requires Justices to be appointed. This was for the division of power between the President and Senate by the founders, who wrote:
"he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court..."

(68 posts)and all he's saying is that the donald isn't conservative enough for him. Some goopers will see that as a trump endorsement.
Fact: Donald Trump is an unrepentant birther. It's not possible to get any crazier than that, no matter what Mike Lee says or thinks.

(581 posts)his "so called policies" Does anyone know what he actually stand for or against. Many of his messages are mixed, confused. I believe he says anything just to attract the white, uneducated voters. Knowing they will believe anything he says.

Two-----------------this hypocrite thinks that the BLM is an illegal organization and he supported what the Bundy clan of criminals were doing in Nevada and Oregon, and he has encouraged state legislatures to basically raid Indigenous Peoples land for his Manifest Destiny and Doctrine of Discovery concept

Three------------------So for this hypocrite to come out and say that he wants assurances--------------well, dude you failed that litmus test, maybe you should practice what you preach before you say anything

(816 posts)foul mouthed loser? You can forget everything he's said and done that is offensive to most people? I'm not that forgiving.

(930 posts)It's entirely expected from the likes of Lee (and his benighted party).
They were comfortable with W, with Palin, and now with Don.
Their recklessness and cynicism is boundless.
