I can’t believe there was a time - long ago - that I actually wanted Powell to run for President. Then he decided to support Obama. What a crushing disappointment.

Colin P. never was a Republican, just an infiltrator whom the Bush family favored for some reason.

A friend of mine noticed he was an overrated hack during the 1991 Gulf War. I hadn't paid that much attention. Looking back, I see he was spot-on. Between Kanye and himself, a real brain-trust there.

Yep, and thankfully we had Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf there, without him the Gulf War would have been a CF.

The asswagon just placed his own name on Trump’s “dead to me” list. Not smart.

When was the last time he voted Republican? Can we stop pretending he’s a Rino and call him a ‘Rat?

Because he sees her as a competent trustworthy healthy Commander in Chief whose tenure as Secretary of State made the middle east and rest of the world a safer more settled place. He sees her as a strong economic leader whose decisions about policy would never be influenced by personal gain. He sees her as an independent leader, not constructed of artificial images and words crafted by a stable of staffers. He sees her as well connected to the middle class and respectful of the middle class, ethnic groups, and the American people of all faiths and political beliefs.

He knows how much she respects and honors the military and the men and women who protect her in the Secret Service. Those days of no uniforms in the WH or in her presence or even her line of sight - well that is in the past. Now she’s prepared to be their Commander in Chief.

He see her compromise of enormous amounts of classified US information for her own convenience,her own use and for sharing with donors as an simple mistake made by a truly great leader. The crafted video story about Benghazi was for the good of the American people, who need to feel like their leaders would never hide from congress and bungle an illicit arms trade with terrorists, expose a US ambassador to death and then abandon him and his staff - and lie about it.

He believes she is strong and healthy enough to handle the enormous pressures of office, even though her eyes wobble around in her head and she disappears for days at a time during a political campaign where she is ferried, shuttled, fed, medicated, injected, guarded from public view, teleprompted, earpiece-fed, and unable and unwilling to give honest answers to the few questions she is tossed by an obsequious staff of State-corporate media.

He knows she really didn’t mean to toss the black man under the bus by saying he told her it was OK to compromise the business of the US on private unvetted communications equipment

So why wouldn’t Colin vote for someone like Hillary and follow her leadership to hell and back for his country?

He was an equal opportunity general, and won favor with Republicans soon after through any credentials he had built up. His rise in rank was when the military was drawn down after the V War and there was a push for minority advancement.

His main secret to success was always that he could speak and orate well with a lack of any accent.

The same with Obama. He can speak well, and with the desirable middle America Kansas accent of his grandfather.

Proper eloquence covers up for a lot of sins.

Didn’t he say that weeks ago? And, btw, who cares? Didn’t he advise her to use her private server, wasn’t that Colin?
