As the New York Times has reported, General Jim Mattis has ruled out a potential independent bid for the Presidency.
The boss sent out an email to interested parties breaking the news:
All: I received an email from Jim Mattis yesterday saying that, after much consideration, he’s decided not to pursue an independent bid for president. The thoughtfulness and patriotism–and for that matter, the modesty–Jim showed as he reflected on this decision make me more convinced than ever that he would have made a truly admirable president, and also a good candidate. But it’s not to be. So we won’t have a President Mattis.
But of course the fight to help the country do better than a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton goes on.
