The Washington Post has this article about General James Norman Mattis, who is being urged to run by anti-Trump Republicans as an independent.
Here is the wikipedia article about Mattis. Mattis is age 65. This recent article quotes Mattis as saying that he has not even thought about running for President.
If this happens, the candidate will have to pay a lot for ballot access, and it will drive prices for other ballot access drives to the moon.
1) I follow politics and I had never heard of General Mattis until just last week. 2) Where does he stand on the issues? 3) Who else is backing him?
