Sneed: Powell may be poised to endorse Clinton (guess the date)
Chicago Sun Times ^ | August 11, 2016 | Michael Sneed

Posted on 08/17/2016 7:32:41 PM PDT by CreviceTool

Is retired four-star Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican, getting close to a presidential endorsement of his former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton? Betting? Well, Sneed hears it’s a good bet to hit the “Yes” button. Slap shot: Although Powell has tried to stay out of politics and has jokingly claimed he remains a Republican “because it annoys them,” an endorsement would not be a surprise.

So a blah liberal, Sect’y of State, former General, Republican will endorse Hillary? OK, so who cares, it could be worse, if it was Schwartzkoff. (Yes I know he’s deceased.)

Would it be perverse to hope that Gen Powell’s most prized Volvo is broadsided by a Subaru driven by a liberal driving a carload of illegals to a polling place?

In more practical earthy terms, she is a Bushie inside and out, and that is my biggest problem with her.

Once I would have happily voted for him - now, I detest him - Republicans helped him all along the way in his career - Reagan, Bush #1, Bush#2 promoted him to higher, more responsible and more visible positions - and he betrays them and the party by saying over and over again that the party is “racist” and endorsing the worst kind of American haters for office - he has no integrity or honor as far as I’m concerned....

He’s Obama’s boy.

He’s as much a Republican as Al Sharpton.

Of course, he’ll endorse Hillary and attack Trump - that’s what Poser RINOs do.

That’s how they get Media adoration. Crack-pot Beck was on in Prime time tonight. Calling Trump Hitler is the only way he gets on in Prime time.

This is all so very predictable.

[Powell has been an ingracious turncoat for decades.]

This will be no surprise....he backed Obama twice.
Colon Bowel the affirmative action man in an Army uniform. George H.W. Bush the Northeast liberal Republican put him on the elevator to quickly bypass military men who were much, much more qualified. But then to Bush it was the right thing to do because to his liberal friends he showed he cared and advanced their agenda. Also it made Bush feel good and acquire self esteem.

If Powell does this, he is a traitor to the USA and to Trump.

Didn't Powell endorse 0bama? So why should anyone be suprised? He's already shown that he's not even nominally Republican.

Good luck with all that, Colin, you phony Republican!

Vote Trump!

I’d be surprised if he DIDN’T endorse her. He’s a liberal. Marxists are right up his alley.

Powell would endorse his friend Louis Farrakhan before Trump. He was an affirmative action General from the beginning. Many “Republicans” have revealed themselves by opposing Trump. If you prefer Hillary you are for the continuation of this corrupt system.

Funny, I was just thinking about Lt. William Calley, Jr. the other day. Did not know Powell had any connection to him.

Powell and his buddy Weinberger are partly responsible for the deaths of 241 Marines. Their decision making process included sentries being "unarmed" at the gate. This was their compromise (Due to not wanting a presence at all in the airport). They lost that argument, but Weinberger/Powell wanted to go in soft and got "their wish".

Powell wants to be respected and therefore calls himself a Republican but he acts deceptively like all Democrats.

Powell always reminds me of affirmative action. Become Secretary of State through affirmative action.
