But what about Mike Lee?

[kydo]

So what if Cruz doesn't throw the monkey wrench and some other Crazy Senator does?

[Turbineguy]

1. He does not have enough shit in him

to last long enough.

[gopiscrap]

2. I don't think he has the guts to do it

specially after wrath he's seen heaped upon Cruz.

3. The Cruzy Train has left the station.Who is on that train time will tell.Like most temper tantrums,

they have high intensity but have also, as the laws of physics, the equivalent low. The higher they go, the harder they fall. I'll go so far as to think that impeachment is off the table or certainly delayed. They crapped in their own nest.

4. If the House votes on the bill first, it doesn't require unanimous consent…

…which is really why Cruz caved -- he knows that, if the bill comes from the House, there's nothing he or any other Senator can do to delay it.

5. Somebody made a phone call to Mikey,

Utah would lose tens of millions of dollars tomorrow if Mikey had his way. BTW,Mikey's friends on Temple Square lose 10% of any amount not coming into the state.

It's all about the MONEY in Udah!!!!!!

The state of Udah is on the hook for a ton by opening Bryce and Zion Parks,it's all about the money and grabbing of Federal Lands for the Temple Square crowd. Duh!!!!!!!!!

6. Lee said he won't block the deal

Kasie Hunt ✔ @kasie

BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee indicates he won't hold up Senate deal. "I don't have a problem with collapsing time" once he reads bill.
