He’s like Gen Powell in many ways. The Republicans gave them a hand up and they used it very well for their purposes. When he is finished in the RNC, he will still pretend to be a Republican, but will prove to be a very progressive republican and side with the democrats, many times.
General Powell turned out to be utterly clueless. Can you believe that it was just about a year ago when Powell declared that what Americans want is bigger government and higher taxes? What an idiot. Put him right with Barbara Streisand. Good singer, tin ear for politics.
