Colin Powell slams Donald Trump's immigration plan
yahoo News ^ | ‎October‎ ‎1‎, ‎2015 | Dylan Stableford

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says the Republican Party has shifted much further right than the rest of the country — and GOP leaders must get its fringe members in line.

During an appearance at the Washington Ideas Forum on Wednesday, Powell said it “should be obvious to party leaders that they cannot keep saying and doing the things that they were doing and hope to be successful in national-level election in the future, not just in 2016.”

A Colon Bowell slam is equivalent to an endorsement.

“Does anyone really care about him anymore?”

The liberal media does. They keep him around because they can rely on him to trash republicans. If it werent for that, they wouldn’t bother with him and he knows it.

Let me guess, Powell has no plan and advocates the endless stream of criminals and murderers and gang members?

You know, it is labeled “populism” if a person listens and stands for the American citizen voter.

Is representing the actual citizen and representing their wishes “pandering”? Maybe, but that is what it is all about.

Pandering to American citizens FIRST!

I’ve seen Powell’s neighborhood and there’s room for at least 5,000 immigrants behind those gates

Maybe even a couple families right in his house, each with their own bathroom which he can teach them to use

and clean

The more republicans talk, the clearer the gap between them and conservatives becomes - and the more we are pushed toward supporting outsiders.

They are on the road to self-destruction

It’s a great photo. Worth way more than 1,000 words. Powell’s baked bean teeth and demonic smile are classic.

I agree. I don’t shy away from populist candidates.

They are all populists to their constituency. Their constituency thinks their polices are what the U. S. needs.

The word isn’t used for a bad connotation unless the person is very successful at it, and the person making the comment doesn’t support them.

I realize the term is usually used contingent on the policy being America First to the detriment of other nations or poeple. It fits here too IMO.

Powell is no more than a cheap black opportunist.

“Yes, I’m still a Republican,” Powell added. “I want to continue to be a Republican because it annoys them.”

That one statement says it all!!!!!

Powell never should have been SOS. He’s soft and he doesn’t have a clue.
