1. Thats a big one from the other side. nt

4. He's been flirting with it for months.

I think it's only a matter of time. After the conventions, perhaps.

6. I think they are saving Powell for the convention.

Makes a bigger statement with nationwide prime time audience.

[TwilightZone]

7. Hmm...

That would work.

3. KNR

5. Wow. Not totally unexpected, but a nice statement too. nt

8. I suspect any former official whose main concern is foreign/military policy will likely endorse her.

There is nobody with any intelligence who thinks Trump should control our nukes or serve as America's decision maker in world affairs.

9. General Scowcroft served Presidents Nixon, Ford, Pappy Bush, GW Bush, and Obama...

About as good an experienced military Republican endorsement as anyone could get.

10. Just a preemptive before people start bitching and complaining

Scowcroft opposed the Iraq war and counseled Bush, Sr. not to go into Baghdad in 1991.

11. Yep. nt
