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.

Man,I’ m shocked!
In other words he mismanaged his retirement funds and would like a job in a hypothetical Clinton administration, preferably one that gets him access to the Clinton Foundation donor list.
Colon Bowell is a jack ass. He actually told the UN that Iraq has mobile WMD labs!! Bwaaa What a joke. Idiot. They were weather balloon trucks.
Hardly surprising.
I expect the same from McCain and Linda Graham.

Because every Globalist will gladly let themselves be anally raped to preserve the status quo of the equalization of labor wages between the developed and the developing world. It’s that important to them.
“Colon Bowell is a jack ass”
Please don’t insult jackasses.
Scum.
Can’t blame him at all. Now that we know that the republican party is populated and run by corrupt gangsters he’s just going along to get along. But, hey, don’t worry about this! Just keep on voting for the lesser of the two evils. Eventually, maybe, one day the uniparty will let the little guys win one out of pity.
That’s good. You got me there — I must apologize.
Why they have to tell people? attention seeker.
After she threw him under the bus, saying he had put official business on his private server too, which he hadn’t. Wonder how much he got for his public endorsement. He is not a man of honor or he could never vote for the biggest crook ever to run for the presidency.
Color me surprised. This should not need a sarc tag.
He’s always been a liberal.
Did anyone expect anything more from Colin?
who give a sh.t - he is a closet Liberal anyway.
People who are pro-abortion always seem to lack every other kind of depth or principle. It really indicates a hole in the soul.
Colin who? Isn’t he the one starting all that trouble in the NFL AND has lost 2 games in a row as a starter?
