Colin Powell says he's voting for Clinton

[Mr. Shaman]

once we can blow up the Republican establishment, the Dems are hopefully next..

Trumpy-The-Klown's less-educated fan-base is gonna blow-up the Dems??!!!

once we can blow up the Republican establishment, the Dems are hopefully next.. unless one prefers this plutocratic yoke we 'enjoy' now?

thats the plan Once we get a non-globalist in power the other side has to adapt and match or keep losing. I predict a trump win wil lcause more sanders type people to run while a clinton win will cause more democrats in her mold to run

?
Earth commerce will be globalizing, REGARDLESS of who the United States of America installs in the White House.

Non-interventionism, and isolationism are two different things.

our trade agrements werenever designed to give us anything but so called stability (at the expense of American jobs/wealth).

Notice Obama is pushing the TPP as a counter to Chinese hegemony - which is fine, but it brings down our innate economic advantages
to one of fair play and US imposed stability -instead of economic advantage.
Which is yet another reason for bilateral/multilateral type agreements instead of these mindless regional corptocratic monsters

Splendid.

But President Clinton says she'll not agree to any trade deal that doesn't meet her criteria; and she's named them. IIRC there are 4.
I didn't memorize them, but recall that they relate to the welfare of U.S. tax payers.

& iirc

She AND HER RUNNING MATE have voted against trade deals that didn't meet their requirements.

^ she was for it before she was against it -except when she's being paid by Wall St. (secret speeches) - where's she's for it again??

Clinton is nothing but....ah.. shall we say .."nimble" in her positions depending on the political climate and her audience.

"she was for it before she was against it -" #26

That's not strictly true; depending upon how you define "it".

At the time, she was a legislator. She has principles *.
What she was "for" was the idea of passing into law an international trade agreement that would benefit the economy & People of the United States of America. Call me a wild-eyed maniac; but candidly; that's what I want as well.

Thus, according to VP candidate Kaine (D) they supported the legislative process

BUT !!

because they could not get the protections they wanted written into the final draft of the bill, they opposed it.

"she was for it before she was against it -" #26

You present that as if she / they flip-flopped on it.

They didn't.
They paid attention to detail, and proceeded on merit. What do you suppose the chances are that President Trump would do that?

* Go hog wild with that. I'm not interested. I saw Kaine in interview within the past 48 hours, and he specifically addressed Hillary's & his own position on international trade legislation.

Nonsense.

Powell is a respected icon of the GOP, and this is further proof that Trump’s ‘candidacy’ goes beyond partisan politics, where Republicans of good conscience can’t support the likes of Trump.

This is a joke, right ?
