The Daily Caller published an article yesterday which discussed a movement to draft retired U.S. Marine General James Mattis to run for the Presidency this year. A lot of us find our current choices from the two entitlement parties terrifying and/or unlikable (Trump, Clinton, Cruz and Sanders). The general, fondly known as “Mad Dog” would be a great choice, but The Daily Caller is late to that party.

For those who have never heard of General James Mattis, please leap from the nearest tall building, you fools. Oops, sorry. As you were, sir. I think I got possessed by a free floating hint of testosterone just from thinking about the General. Please, kindly read General Mattis’ biography, as posted by the Hoover Institute here.

General Mattis is one of the senior military leaders dismissed/retired by President Obama. The list includes Carter Ham, John Allen and, famously, Stanley McChrystal after a Rolling Stones magazine article.

As I said, the Daily Caller is quite late to the party. My U.S. Marines veteran friends have been talking up “Mad Dog” Mattis for President, since the moment he retired. Why? I am so glad you asked.
