I had a scary thought. One man they could win with, if they could get him to run, and who if approached right, would have to consider it:
Colin Powell
Think about it. General Powell has “evolved” on almost every major issue since he left the Bush administration and is currently as leftist as most major establishment Democrats, so switching parties would not be a big thing.
Then, there is the fact that he did serve honorably and courageously as a soldier, and can probably be counted on to repair some of the damage that Obama has caused to the military forces, even if he can’t roll back all the changes.
Finally, who better to task with cleaning up the mess made by the first African American President than a staid, serious, professional African American with impeccable credentials?
2014: Al Gore Is Not Giving Up
"......... Friends say hes lost north of 50 pounds, a figure he politely declines to confirm. Its been nearly four years since his separation from Tipper (they have not officially gotten a divorce), and he is in a long-term relationship with Elizabeth Keadle, an environmental philanthropist from southern California. I dont want to get into my personal life, but were a couple, Gore says...."
Powell is a serial liar.
Powell won’t run. He had been approached some time ago but his wife put her foot down and refused
What is Colin Powell..... Like 80?
Uh, Dr. Walter E. Williams
Dr. Thomas Dowell
LTC Alan West
...and several thousand others...
But comparing these fine men with the current POS occupying the white hut is like comparing bars of platinum to a pile of s**t.
