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.)

Didn't we lose those wars?

He tried hard.

so... the GOP is going to appoint Obama's general, who presided over the systemic destruction of the military... as President?
... and there are still a few who don't think this shitshow is fixed? -

Vlad take note:
"I don't worry about stress," Mattis reportedly once said of his mindset during his military career. "I create it."
Need pics of his wife before I can jump on this bandwagon. Melania is tough to beat.

Generals should stay in their barracks.

The military coup we've all been waiting for.

Grant was adequate as President, at best. But when you're stone-cold drunk all the time, that's to be expected (or celebrated?).
Ike's wife was fugly. Downvote. Supreme commanders should be able to pull better squish than that mudfence.

Grant was president during a low point in American politics, but that still doesn't excuse his corruption and incompetence.

Have to give Grant credit for attempting more comprehensive reconstruction, just was never finished.

I didn't see that you specified General. Thought we were just talking about military badasses in general. I can't read. Does this mean Colonels are allowed out of the barracks? @doogsinparadise TRUE???!!

We need another president like William Henry Harrison

@TippecanoeDawg's been saying this for years.

OK - I'll change to a no-opinion vote based on getting a little something on the side from fugly Mamie. But Ike most certainly could have pulled some terrific French squish as the conquering liberator. You know The Donald would have.Cougzz said:

And because google is my bestie, the gal who played Kay Summersby in a made-for TV movie was damned hot 60's Mad Men style.
