Colin Powell Says He’ll Vote for Hillary Clinton
NY Times ^ | Oct. 25, 2016 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Colin L. Powell, the Republican former secretary of state, said on Tuesday that he planned to vote for Hillary Clinton for president as he condemned her rival, Donald J. Trump, at an event on Long Island.

Speaking before the Long Island Association, a trade group that frequently hosts political figures, Mr. Powell divulged his intentions come Election Day. “I am voting for Hillary Clinton,” he said, according to Matthew Cohen, a spokesman for the association. Mr. Powell went on to praise Mrs. Clinton for her skills as a leader and her experience.

Paule Pachter, a Long Island Association board member, said that Mr. Powell was blunt.

“He said he would support Hillary Clinton and he also elaborated on several reason why he felt that Donald Trump was not the right candidate,” he said. “He spoke about his inexperience, he spoke about the messages that he’s sending out every day to his supporters, which really paints our country in a negative light across the globe with all our allies.”

The comments were a change from Mr. Powell’s tone in hacked emails from his inbox that were made public in September. In the emails, Mr. Powell criticized Mr. Trump but also expressed bitterness at Mrs. Clinton for repeatedly pointing to Mr. Powell’s email habits to explain away her own use of a private email server while she ran the State Department.

Well, there goes the dumbass demographic.

He’ll probably pull three or four dumbasses with him.

They’ll all be standing in the voting booth trying to put a buck in the voting machine and get four pictures taken.

Nobody cares Colin. Your fifteen minutes of fame are up. You are no longer relevant to anything worthwhile.

This guy was never a conservative and I always doubted he was a Republican by choice and RINO at best at that even, but I always knew he was really a liberal hiding behind the (R).

This stuff helps us, I’d think. Even the most brainwashed hillaristas have to begin wondering why all of these people they despise prefer hillary. Powell and hillary do have something huge in common.....bad judgement. It’s Powell who convinced skeptical pols that Iraq had WMDs.

Of course he is. He’s been voting Democrat his entire life, in the privacy of the voting booth. It’s only been in the last ten years he’s been honest about it. POS
