In that case, let's fast forward to the Mike Lee Senate confirmation hearing. The democrats on the committee (and every talking head in the media) will demand an explanation of why he wanted Donald J. Trump to drop out of the presidential race in October 2016. I can only think of two possible responses to that line of questioning, both of which are not good.
1. Mike Lee decides that he does not want to discuss it, so he gives non-answers, obfuscates, goes off on a tangent, or whatever. Imho that would not be a proper display of the intellectual robustness required of a conservative Supreme Court Justice.
2. Mike Lee puts on his pink pussy hat and spills his guts about exactly why Trump should not have been elected as our President. And that would happen live on tv about 45 days or so before the midterm election.
Either #1 or #2 would make this man very happy. (If there is a #3 possible scenario, I would love to hear it.)
