Time to get rid of the embarrassment that is Mike Lee

Might as well start this campaign to oust Mike Lee now. He has two reasonable Republicans primarying him. Mike Lee is one of the biggest embarrassments this state has ever had, and does absolutely nothing to benefit the state as a Senator. The Republican primary is the best shot at ousting him from the Senate.

His two most prominent challengers are Becky Edwards and Ally Isom. Here are their campaign pages:

It will be interesting to see which one gives him a better fight during the Republican primary. This is a reminder you also have to be a registered Republican to vote in the Republican primary in Utah. The deadline to do so to get in on this primary election is March, 2022. Change your affiliation, get friends to register and vote, get everyone you know to register and vote and get Mike Lee out of here next spring during the primary. You can always switch your affiliation back after and vote for whoever you want in November, but the primary is the biggest chance to oust Lee. I have plenty of disagreements with Edwards and Isom but they are both much more moderate and worlds better than the embarrassment that is Mike Lee. We should all be doing all we can to get him out of the Senate.
 
I've heard enthusiastic support for Mike Lee and I have to kind of do a double-take and ask "This Mike Lee, like 'Mike Lee' Mike Lee?"

I certainly don't see what anyone could find appealing about him. He's been one of Trump's little *!^#& *** sniffers with no backbone at all.

Edwards and Isom have some notoriety. It’s going to an uphill battle but everyone who realizes the POS Lee is should be trying to get him out this next primary. He for sure has the rabid Republican base locked up, but I’m hoping one of these two can make it a race.
 
It always surprises people, but I heard Don is a huge Mike Lee supporter. It's the only thing he likes about Utah.
 
Lots of Utah's richest really like Mike Lee. He helped ram through the big tax cut in 2017 and has never met a regulation he didn't want to shred.

Some maybe, but there’s a bit of a shift among some as well. It’ll be very difficult to primary him, because he has a pretty solid 30-35% base of the party who unabashedly love him. Edwards and Isom are still conservative, but they don’t push forward the kind of rhetoric Lee does. Kind of like Cox. Edwards probably has the better chance IMO, but we shall see. What you almost need to really make it interesting is a really extreme right candidate to jump in and take from the base to water down the vote.

For Republicans, the more offensive end inflammatory, most often wins in primaries. I don’t see Lee being any different. Like you said, you need someone to the right of Lee for the moderate candidates to have a chance. Finding someone to the right of Lee could be difficult. But if you can find a mormon to the right of Lee, then you might have a chance to knock him out.

I wish anti Lee forces were better organized. They might be able to de-throne him if they got organized with a far right candidate.

I think if everyone could vote in primaries it would be somewhat easy to oust Lee. The issue as we’ve discussed is he has that rabbis Republican base during the primaries and it’s hard to overcome that if Independents, unaffiliated (even Democrats) don’t register as Republican for the primary and vote for one of the other candidates. Lee hovers at below 50% approval rating when the entire population is polled, but once he breaks through the primary he gets lot of automatic R votes.

As far as Lee’s support I noticed Steve Starks posted this recently



I do think there are some heavy hitter business folks in the state who would take Isom or Edwards over Lee, but yeah, it’ll be an uphill battle and you need people to switch over during the primaries and make a concerted effort to get rid of him.

He came in on the conservative wing, and talks conservative. I question those "bona fides" and believe more likely he's milking bankers and big tech support now. Clearly, he has his eye on bigger things, imo. He's really a centrist, born and raised in DC,. He wants to be Pres.

But I'll vote for him over either of the above candidates.

Thought of running myself.

But I'm not a real Republican, just a third party outsider. Couldn't win as dogcatcher.
