“And on Capitol Hill, some Republican lawmakers — fearful of driving away one of the country’s most popular and charismatic figures — say they are eager to keep Powell in their party despite the policy differences many have with him.”
A microcosm of why the GOP is DOA.
To paraphrase the Duke of Wellington, the GOP should tell Powell to “leave and be damned!”
Dick Morris said on O’Reilly last night that Powell is now in the Powell Legacy business full time, so why should anyone listen to him, least of all the GOP? The man is a has-been.
