Former Secretary of State Colin Powell told a crowd of more than 1,000 Long Island business and political leaders Tuesday that he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton for president, citing her experience, temperament and in a jab at GOP nominee Donald Trump, the “stamina.”
Powell, speaking at the Long Island Association fall luncheon in Woodbury was harshly critical of Trump, arguing that the New York businessman was “not qualified” and had sold Americans a “bill of goods” that he cannot deliver. “He insults us every day,” said Powell, who served as Secretary of State under Republican President George W. Bush. “He has insulted America in one way almost every day,” Powell said of Trump. “He has insulted Latino Americans. He has insulted African Americans. He has insulted women. He has insulted his own party. He has insulted our allies around the world one by one. He has insulted veterans.” The people Trump has most insulted, Powell said, are his own supporters “because they are being sold a bill of goods.” Powell, who has been critical of Clinton for her use of a private email server while as Secretary of State, said he considers the Democratic nominee a “friend” whom he has known for 20 years. “She is smart; she is capable; she was a good Secretary of State,” Powell said. “She is balanced, she has temperament and no matter what anyone says she has stamina ... I think she is fully qualified to serve as the president of the United States and will serve it with distinction.” View Quote |

He voted for Obama twice too, no big surprise there. He's a leftist.
|
|
No surprise, another GOP establishment shill bashing Trump. Fuck the GOPe.
|
|
|
|
Fuck 'im, he voted Obama twice because he's black, that disqualifies him from having a noteworthy endorsement ever again.

How utterly brave of him two weeks before election with Hillary in a solid (poll) lead.
|
|
|
|
People were begging him to run as a Republican for President at one time, remember that? Talk about one party with two names.
|
|
Damn. I hate to hear that. But, my eyes were forced open the other day while talking to a coworker and can't say I'm too surprised. Never thought I'd see such deep-rooted hatred.

He also sold the Iraq war to the American people. Fuck Colin Powell and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. He has no honor or integrity. He should be ashamed to be seen in public, but he isn't.

Stormin Norman was the real hero.
Affirmative action at its finest. |

Hush, arfcom loves them some Colin. Well, maybe not anymore. |
|
I didn't care about that fuckstick when he was SoS for Bush, if it were possible to care even less about him now, I would.
|
|
So former corruption has come out to endorse to continue corruption
|
|
More proof that Trump is actually just who we needed this year.

Didn't Powell leave the GOP nearly a decade ago? How is this news? Or breaking?
|
|
Well he can go fuck himself. I am not surprised though, just like the tards on here that want a different nominee. Donald Trump is a result of all GOP actions over the past decade, Trump is no ones fault but their own.

Part of the Clinton Crime Family, so how much did they pay him
