Mattis has said he has no interest in running for President.
This is a recycled story that has been played out a couple times on FR already.
“I doubt that General Mattis is so foolish.”
He isn’t. This is the nervous gibbering of the ruling effete.
This is absolutely and categorically false — a vote for Person X does not translate to a vote for Person B because Person A didn't get that vote.
It would be called the globalists, open boarders party!!!!
I have a better idea Patreas as Trump VP general against general TAKE THAT GOPe !!!!’.
Pfff... no party owns my vote. If they want my vote, they need to earn it.
At the Republican party meetings up to the District Level (3), Trump supporters were in the minority. The most committed and vocal Trump supporters, who were not generally involved otherwise, were retired military, including a general. I don’t see a military candidate peeling votes away.
In this case it is 100% true.
Clinton can only win if conservatives sit out or support 3rd party a candidate.
She is unpopular and can not win on her own.
We’ll played, FRiend. I was thinking the same thing.
Well, we *are* in the middle of the first Seven Days in May…
Reminds me of my twin boys, tell them they have choice between chocolate and vanilla ice cream, they say strawberry and get none.
There is no viable third party, picking one is simply a cop out to not choose between the two choices before us.
..
But point well-taken. I will be voting for no such. Until the voting changes to plurality voting...
There is a good reason why the founders chose not to have plurality voting. The Presidential election is actually an election by the States and not a majority of people.
This is a Republic, not a Democracy, and in this American Republic they forsaw that the election and your future should not turn on a simple majority with the deciding vote cast by some nutcase, fruitcake in San Francisco or Seattle. That is what plurality voting can do.
Same group the people have rejected.
Trump is not a conservative and barely even qualifies as GOPe, except for his money and liberal stances. He’s the ultimate RINO.
“It’s over. Anyone pushing another candidate should be dumped from the party. Trump is the presumptive nominee and these folks should choose between Clinton and Trump.”

Completely agree. Trump is not a guy who barely edged out the competition in a 3-way race, or won the nomination by outspending the competition.
He won convincingly, and spent less than anyone else.
The people has spoken.
If Mr. Trump has not already called him.
The Cheap Labor Express.
They have to block the citizens from electing Trump.
The word “conservative” applies accurately to exactly zero of the conspiratorial consultant/GOPe-type schmucks referenced in that article.
Are you Glenn Beck or Erick Erickson?
