Now, I always thought he was a Republican, a RINO maybe? However, I could be wrong.
Colin was undeclared all thru his military career. However, in 2000 he went with GWB and essentially becaome a Republican.
That lasted for only two years when he was Secretary of State.
I don't think he and George saw eye to eye and so the Rino/GOP Prez let him go. I didn't think Powell was ever a conservative anyway, so that surprised me.
Despite both being centrist and RINOs I was always amazed that Powel and McCain did not hit things off well either. Suggesting that Colin simply would rather run with the Asses than the Elephants. He was a good soldier an served his country well. For that he deserves out thanks. but serving this President has got to be stressful for him.
But he needs to stop being a black politician and, once again, become an American.
