I once thought Powell would be a good Republican President. I was completely mistaken. This was a good lesson for me and has made me more conservative in who I support in GOP primaries. There are some characteristics of any candidate that completely disqualify them from receiving my vote.
I fell for the hype as well. I’m obviously a slow learner because initially I thought Paul Ryan was okay too.
“I once thought Powell would be a good Republican President.”
I feel that Ben Carson would make a great President but I fear that Obama has so poisoned the well that African Americans will be pariahs for many years in politics. That’s a shame but completely understandable given Obama’s arrogance and ineptitude while in office.
