He’s retired Marine General James Mattis. He’s an extraordinary American. Yes, it’s a longshot. But he is exactly what we need.

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.

I am sure Clarke had some manly things he said to his guys back in the day. I don’t know anything about this guy. I used to work at an embassy with lots of very high ranking military personnel. I was surprised at how many were libs. This guy may not be, but a couple of cool sayings does’t mean much.
To: wideminded
I recommend the general for Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Trump adminstration.

Well, if he’s the author of this quote, and it appears upon research that he is credited with it, then I’m all in. Molon Labe. How about Allen West and James Mattis.

This Man Can Save Us From Trump and Clinton 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.

Uh that’s not how it works Dude. The online bloggers don’t substitute their picks for the guys that are actually running.
That being said Mattis might be a good pick for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs if he wants to come back. He’s a no chit warrior in the field.

If you’re going to post, show some initiative. Don’t be lazy.

I am not promoting him. “Saving us from Trump” is part of the article. I didn’t write it.
