Fourth or fifth thread, the guy must have been important. The once.hero, passes past his prime.
The Daily Mail headline (no link) says it all. “Powell Killed by Covid”.
No matter how wrong-headed Colin Powell turned out to be, he was once held up as something of a paragon, one of the “first of” in several ways. There has always been a progressive streak in a lot of these “compassionate” RINOs, going back to Teddy Roosevelt and his “Bull Moose” party, and perhaps even much further. What few Republicans remained in elective office in the years of the New Deal and FDR, were almost all of the “progressive” variety, and they voted almost as enthusiastically for the whole package advocated by the FDR “brain trust” as the Southern Democrats.
Strange bedfellows, even back then.
