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 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 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. |

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

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. |

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 |

Why didn't he ever run? 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. |
