Anti-Donald Trump Republicans believe they can make Gen. James Mattis president

Mattis, 65 and a former field commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, would run as an independent in the event the major-party nominees were Trump and Hillary Clinton, even though he probably wouldn't be able to get on the ballot in all 50 states. The campaign would concentrate on the swing states that tilt Republican. If Mattis wins a handful of them, goes the thinking, he would deny both Trump and Clinton the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. That would kick the decision to the GOP-led U.S. House of Representatives, which surely would prefer a bona fide American hero to a reality-TV star who's a hero in his own mind. (There's no chance a Republican Congress would elect Clinton as president.)
