An anonymous group of conservative billionaires is ready to place their bets on a man dubbed “Mad Dog,” hoping to draft him into the presidential race to confront Donald Trump.
Think of it as a Plan B should Trump be nominated by the Republican Party in Cleveland: swing behind retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis and press him into service yet again as a third-party candidate.
Mattis is the former commander of Central Command, which includes the strife-afflicted conflict zones of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, and has developed a reputation among troops as a general officer who cares about the little guy. This reputation blossomed into the political realm during the 2012 presidential contest, when a Marine Corps veteran started an online campaign to write-in Mattis on presidential ballots—it ultimately lacked the backing to take

How did that happen?
No idea. Weird huh?

We all did.
This'll insure a Dem win!
Let them tarnish that vote by associating it with a handful of super wealth donors forcing their will in a very public way.
A personal vote counts the same whether it is cast by a rich or poor person.
Poor people will notice.
And five days late at that!
Unless you’re talking about Eisenhower, generals don’t do well in American politics.

BNGO!
all Freepers need to do is search under ARCHIVES. I remembered Mattis was fired by Trump. If you were fired by PDJT, you know you did something stupid.
Considering the average age of Freepers in this thread, the MIBs are even removing the reason we walked out to the garage!
There is NO ONE who could beat Trump EXCEPT DeSantis and FRAUD!!
An anonymous group of conservative billionaires...
I remember a topic regarding how POTUS Trump said there were a bunch of billionaires gunnin' for him. Couldn't find it.
I have a somewhat different take on that than you, it seems.
Is it at all these people hired, 40 or 50 top conservative and/or Republican intelligence, defense, national security officials across the board over four years with impeccable professional credentials across the board are all defects? You reach the end of the law of averages on this one, in my estimate. I think history will eventually be a big judge on this one. I know from my own experience we came THIS close to major war here in Asia by foolishness and we were brought back from the abyss by people who could disarm and cool down things.
No thanks. This guy turned out to be a real low-life scum.
So what is to explain all the others turning on Trump as well?
That’s a pretty critical mass against one single guy.
They are scum, too, no doubt?
