Revenge is a dish best served on Monday when someone else gets the job you wanted.

Good. His Senate seat was safe until 2022/3 and I did not want to see it become a Dim election opportunity any sooner.

He didn’t call me to tell me I’m not the pick, so I guess that means I am.... I am so honored!!!

Telling the media that he was not chosen before PDJT makes tonight’s announcement ensures that Mike Lee won’t be told anything in confidence ever again.
