Recent news cycles seem to have been a bit positive for Colin Powell. They at least brought him to the forefront of public consciousness. He could be a Hillary replacement and probably the best replacement.
Joe Biden -- no Elizabeth Waren -- probably not Kaine promoted -- possibility Bernie Sanders -- Remote possibility
Either way, if Hillary has to drop it means civil war within the Democratic party. It's going to take a light touch to consolidate that and Colin Powell might have it and can neutralize much Trumps platform.
I know where I’d start kicking him. “He lied to the UN about the WMDs in IRAQ!”
no
Oh, I would kick him over the Powell Doctrine. The misplaced notion that if break it you own it. If we were going to own it, we should have owned it. Not some milquetoast nation building effort that in the end was sabotaged by Obama.
Sure! They’re gonna replace a 70-year old who quits for health reasons with an 80-year old.
/s
Dude, put down the crack pipe.
Powell would be 80 years old thre months post inauguration. In a word? No.
Although Comrade Hellry IS a witch, Colon’s description of Benghazi as a “witch hunt” showed his true colors.
HE was the one that convinced HW to stop the destruction of Iraqi forces in GW1. Could have taken the whole shebang right back then, but Powell was afraid of world opinion. Coward.
If it’s not a woman, her base will revolt. Of course, Powell might start using the other bathroom, if that’s what it takes.
Damn, I didn’t know he was 80. Now I want to delete my post.
Naw. Don’t think so.
Vote Trump 2017
Not likely. He had his chance many years ago. I would have supported him then. He and Alma had no stomach for the fight. Then, he blew it with the Iraq war, worse with support for Obama. He’s done.
The MSM is giving him press time because his boneheaded comments take the attention off of Clinton. Powell has burned all of his political bridges via his stupid leaked emails.
Is there any reason to think Powell is anything other than an extreme leftist on immigration (like Hillary and all Democrats these days)? And he’s probably in line with the true Hillary and the Bush-Ryan wing of the GOP on trade. So on those two big issues at least, Powell wouldn’t be able to neutralize Trump’s platform.
LOL!
Who comes up with this stuff.? Powell is 89 years old and passed on running for Pres. many years ago.
And he’s such a bitchy 80 year old!
This is humor right?
Powell destroyed himself with those leaked emails. He will never again be taken seriously by either party.
As Harry Bellefonte said about Colin Powell, He is the House nigger on the slave masters plantation.
Powell will never ever be elected POTUS!
