GEN. Mattis for President?
As the GOTP leadership -- and I use that term very loosely -- grapple with the prospect of a convention squabble over Drumpf vs. Cruz-missile, a small but wealthy group of donors are trying to encourage a retired USMC general to step up.
The Daily Beast reports that these unnamed donors are trying to woo one GEN James Mattis, USMC (Ret.) to join the battle between the current Repuke candidates for the highest office in the USA.
So who is GEN. Mattis? A simple Google search on DU revealed the following post:

I'm not sure whether we should encourage this movement, in the interest of further fractioning and diluting the reich-wingers' effect in this campaign, rather than hoping for a more sober and rational opponent to go up against the Democratic candidate.
Should we risk the prospect of this particular career military officer assuming the role of Commander-in-Chief, with his finger on the button of our entire arsenal of weaponry?
Or should we just watch the GOTP circle the electoral drain for this election cycle?
If so, how do you like your popcorn? I like to sprinkle a little Tabasco sauce into the microwave bag, shake well and serve. But then someone told me that Old Bay seasoning works well, too.
Your thoughts, please?
