2016 US Presidential Election - Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell to vote for Hillary Clinton

Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell has announced that he will vote for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the November 08,2016  elections.

Powell, a Republican statesman, revealed his vote on Tuesday Oct 25,2016 in a speech during the annual fall luncheon of the business group Long Island Association, New York

"I am voting for Hillary Clinton," said Powell, explaining that the Democratic candidate is "smart", has "experience" and has the right "temperament".

"The other candidate (Republican Donald Trump) is not qualified to be president. 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 by one. He has insulted veterans," said the former Secretary of State who served from 2001 and 2005.

Finally, Powell said: "he (Trump) says, 'believe me, trust me,' I don't believe him. I don't trust him. 'Make America great again'. What does make America great again mean? You want to take me back to 50 years ago? No thanks!"
