WASHINGTON - Former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell on Sunday endorsed Democratic former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, becoming the first major Republican to publicly back Donald Trumps rival ahead of Novembers election.
Powell, who led the U.S. military during the 1991 Gulf War under Republican former President George H.W. Bush and later led the U.S. Department of State under President George W. Bush, said Trump was ineffective and has only gotten worse since he took office.
I cannot in any way support President Trump this year, Powell, who did not vote for Trump in 2016, told CNN in an interview.
Asked if he would vote for Biden, he added: I will be voting for him.

I had little respect for Powell before.
That has totally evaporated now.

I also saw where Bush 43 is hesitant about supporting Trump.
I'd like to tell him I stood up for him for his eight years as did many of us.
In every poll I could I gave nothing but top support for him.
After how Roberts has ruled on several key SCOTUS issues I'm regretful I did.
And how does he repay us? Stabbing Trump in the back.

Once Harry Belafonte called Powell,who was then working for Bush,the “house negro”.Sounds like Powell got the message.

When does a Republican stop being a Republican. Hes endorsed Obama twice, voted for Hillary and now is endorsing Biden. Thats 4 in a row. Id say hes a Democrat, plus, he was an affirmative action general, courtesy of the Bush Family. The stain that disgusting family has left on this country continues to resonate.
