One of The Donald's better picks:
“What keeps you awake at night?” CBS “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson asked Mattis.
“Nothing,” a stonefaced Mattis responded. “I keep other people awake at night.”
It joins a rather lengthy list of memorable quotes from Mad Dog Mattis:
“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet,” Mattis was known to tell Marines under his command during the Iraq war.
That's definitely not "leading from behind".
This guy's great.
