Report Copyright Violation | The Secret Movement to Draft General James Mattis for President The Secret Movement to Draft General James Mattis for President [ link to www.thedailybeast.com] 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. CALL OF DUTY04.08.16 7:15 AM ET
The Secret Movement to Draft General James Mattis for PresidentGen. James Mattis doesn’t necessarily want to be president—but that’s not stopping a group of billionaire donors from hatching a plan to get him there.
.
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 off.
“I’ve lived a very colorful life and I’ve said some things,” Mattis told an audience last year, according to the Marine Corps Times. “But not once have I taken them back, and I’ve never apologized for them—and I won’t. I like the enemy knowing there are a few guys like me around.”
The pro-Mattis donors, who want to stay anonymous for the time being, have assembled a core group of seven political operatives, led by Joel Searby, a Republican consultant based in Florida. The group of strategists also includes lead attorney Mohammad Jazil; ballot access specialist Matthew Sawyer; and former George W. Bush pollster Jan Lohuizen, along with a finance team and a “top firm” that has been secured to lead the ballot access petition gathering, members of the team tell The Daily Beast.
Wilson and Noonan co-authored a memo on how Mattis might capitalize on the current media environment, arguing that Trump’s “fake-macho act falls apart” before a bona fide American hero like Mattis.
Third party candidate? Is it possible? |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: The Secret Movement to Draft General James Mattis for President whenever yu hear some bullshit about the OFFICER has LOVED by the Peseant Troops bullshit, you should see the picture.
Consider the FACT that the Constitution only Allows State Governors to COMMISSION Military Officers and that any officer alive accepted an unconstitutional commission should speak volumes for the kind of treasonous trash the corrupt festering cesspool known as the OFFICERS CORPS really is. |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: The Secret Movement to Draft General James Mattis for President The truth is, half the country will always be upset with the President over a particular policy. So wouldn’t it be nice to have a President who could effectively lead whatever policy he believes best for the nation.
same thing Hitler did. |

I don't want to live in an America where we begin to think only the military and generals have the solution to the nations problems. If we start doing that, we are officially Rome 2.0 circa 350 AD. |
