Post subject:  Colin Powell

Check out his leaked emails and it's clear he is the man who should be President. Realizes Trump is disgrace, and Clinton is unqualified for the job.

He always struck me as a solid guy but W threw him under the bus for the Iraq WMD bullshit and that was that... Tough break.

Somehow this decorated general allowed himself to be used and became a disgrace. He clearly didn't have the judgement or the testicular fortitude to be president or Secretary of State.

He knows what the Democratic machine would have done to him. It isn't worth the hassle.

He was afraid. MANY blacks would have supported him. He comes off as more of a liberal republican.

I'd like to think that he was given a bit of a handshake deal to fall on the sword and after 8 years enough time would have passed and he would get the nod to run. They didn't count on the Iraq War to never end and so he was cut loose to the wind.

I agree. That wasn't a time to be a "good soldier". I man I dislike a lot once said, "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right." That was the time for Powell and he didn't have the courage to do it.

You agree with that quote and yet can't understand why someone would choose Bernie over Hillary?

If she governs that way, I will be pleased. She doesn't talk or present her views that way though.

I'm also concerned about the SCOTUS appointments for both candidates. We need to be taking care of the existing justices as best as we can and hope to ride out the next 4 years :lol:

Trump is close enough in the polls to steal the election and make it look legit. The Russian Hackers, White Supremacists, Republican Insiders, and the Mob are uniting around him. It's gonna happen.

Even if you're being the least bit facetious, I kinda feel like that sort of scenario could play out.

I really think this is possible. The Clinton campaign is totally disorganized and seems incapable of anticipating or combating the arsenal of dirty tricks Trump and his minions will unleas to grab this thing.

Though his whining about the connection to the email debacle is a little much. His own email on the subject is public.

I can understand how someone can choose Bernie over Hillary. I can't understand how anyone could take a close look at Bernie and not see he's nothing but a charlatan. Not quite P.T. Trump but not far off.

Hillary's ideology would be hard to describe in one word.

Economically: Neoliberal
Foreign Policy: Hawkish
Socially: What the politics of the moment requires

He was duped by Cheyney n Bush and humiliated in front of the entire country..I think he hated his party and politics after that.
