Jeet Heer added,
2. Lots of people, particular in GOP but also broader establishment are hoping that Mattis will restrain Trump. That might be foolish hope.
3. Once there was famous & beloved general put in charge of moderating a racist demagogue. Spoiler alert: Didn't work out well.
4. Hopes people are placing in Mattis & intelligence community to check Trump has to be seen as part of larger crisis of USA democracy
