Colin Powell is an American hero and an honorable man, and I am so grateful that he spoke out against this disgraceful and incompetent person. Thank you Colin, we're with you, and don't think that this isn't going to make a huge difference in the upcoming election. What a great day this is.
Colin Powell also talked about, as he said it >The Clinton Mafia.

I agree with what Powell said but in all fairness his thoughts were made in private and were not intended to be made public.

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump shook up the status quo of both party regimes and both threaten to give more of the pie to the underdogs. Bernie would have divided the pie more for everyone. Trump not so much but he will provide more of the pie for poor whites. Nothing could enrage the current regimes more.

Which is a shame, because it is high time that Republicans speak out about Donald Trump and the existential threat to the US that his election represents. Staying silent is not enough. It is irresponsible.

I've always had respect for Colin Powell. I wish it was him running for office and not Donald Trump.

Would an "honorable man" tell such blatant lies before the UN and the world about Sadam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction?" Lies that justified the Iraq war disaster and once more, he knew he was telling a lie. See link.

Colin Powell can be defined as another dimwit masquerading as an honest politician. His credibility died when he turned his back on the Republicans. He's a proven liar. Why anybody would put any faith in what comes out of his mouth is beyond me. Yet another DC clown that talks out of both sides of his mouth so he can makes the news.

Had respect for him and wanted him to run until he aligned with Obama.

Respected C Powell as a boss. But it looks like he went over both candidates as negative in a private conversation.

Wouldn't expect he would be a fan

So you agree with what he said about Hillary as well right? That she screws up everything she touches? I think the praise for what he says about Trump is rather dishonest given that those that are praising him now were/are the same ones who claim the Bush admin lied and people died. Powell was right there on front street for that.
Hypocritical much?
