Thought this was interesting. I'm not putting this out there a good option or bad, so don't shoot the messenger. I don't know anything about this general.

If the General wanted to be President, he should have run for President.

Media and left trying to abdicate people’s choice. If we allow them to do this, we may as well toss the rest of the Constitution because our voice will have been silenced.

Why must we be saved from Trump? Because Trump has the audacity to put America first?

No. I don’t know anything about the General either, but he needs to be vetted through the normal process....as ugly as it is at times.

Nope. Someone paratrooping in won’t do the trick this time. Trump or Cruz for the Republicans. If we must have a RINO third party run, bring in John Ellis Bush and bury him aagain, or dig up John B. Anderson.

"John Noonan is former National Security Advisor to Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney"

I think this article can now be dismissed as the GOPe hit piece on Trump that it is.

Never heard of him.

Does he have a wife? And can we see some nekkid pictures of her?

This is a serious election, and we have a lot of issues to evaluate.

Didn’t George Wallace have General Curtis E. LeMay as a running mate for a very brief time back in the 1970s?

Hey Pining,
I’m getting a brain cramp here. Why would you have the temerity to push the guy’s name here on FR; And then seemingly wimp out by bleating that you don’t know anything about him? Does not compute.

Quotes from Maj. Gen. James Mattis:

1. "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

- One of the rules he gave his Marines to live by in Iraq

2. "That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot. There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim. It’s really a hell "

- Addressing a gathering of 200 marines

3. "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling."

4. "PowerPoint makes us stupid."

5. "I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all."

- Message to the Iraqi leaders in every area his men served in

If Trump, Clinton, and Mattis are all denied an outright majority in the Electoral College, the decision goes to the House of Representatives. There, Mattis has a real shot of cobbling together enough state delegations to crowd out Clinton and Trump alike.

The anti-Trump scenarios become more convoluted with each passing day.

Don't include me in "us".

The only ones who need to be "saved from Trump" are traitors and/or enemies of American Patriots.

One flaw in the hypothetical of this article... Retired Marine General James Mattis is most likely a Trump supporter.
