Colin Powell: I’m With Her
‘Full Throttled’ Endorsement of Hillary Clinton
Add Colin Powell’s name to the long list of prominent Republicans who are voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. A retired four-star general, Powell, of course, was President George W. Bush’s Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Powell also served as National Security Advisor under President Ronald Reagan.

At a business event in Long Island, New York, Powell called Trump “not qualified.” Acknowledging he will vote for Clinton, he called Donald Trump a “national disgrace,” who “insults us every day†and is “selling people a bill of goods,†as The Daily Beast notes. Newsday’s Robert Brodsky first reported the news.
Boom. Colin Powell says he will vote for Hillary Clinton. Says will serve w/ distinction and cites experience and stamina
