Powell supported Obama in 2008, pre-Trump. The dude isn't just a Never-Trumper; he's a full-blown RINO or Democrat masquerading as Republican

No it's the Republicans that were taken over by Libertarian billionaires' money. A whole lot of Republicans turned against the party at the time of Bush, including the Conservative editor of the National Review, William F. Buckley's son, Christopher; then it got worse as he ran for and stole a second term. Bush, Bush, Trump ... none of them won the popular vote, and none of the elections for the first time followed the data from the exit polls, all at the same time the voting machines were manufactured by Diebold and programmed to throw the election to Republicans.

In Wisconsin, it was Clinton beating Trump in the exit polls 48.2 percent to 44.3 percent, but the “real” count put Trump over the top at 48.8 percent to 47.6 percent, a red shift of 5.1 percentage points. Perhaps even more interesting, in states without a Republican secretary of state, there is virtually no shift at all, either red or blue, and hasn’t been ever. The election results typically comport with the exit polls in those states.

Howard Dean rather famously hacked into a Diebold election computer tabulator and changed the results of an election in 90 seconds on CNBC while filling in for Tina Brown on her Topic A show on August 8, 2004. When he was made chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the video was pretty much scrubbed off the internet, although recuts of it pop up from time to time.97,98

Hacker conventions, year after year, have featured demonstrations of how easy it is to hack a wide variety of voting machines used in the United States—in 2018, the hack of a clone of the Florida election system was accomplished in less than 10 minutes by an 11-year-old.100 It’s an example of why Ireland, after experimenting with American voting machines for one election, sold its $80 million worth of machines for scrap metal (for a mere $79,000); it refused to resell them as voting machines, taking a huge loss on the deal, so that there was no chance any other country would buy them and make the mistake of using them in an election.101

Trump won the election in 2016 and Bush won both terms. Stop spreading lies.

The only reason him and Condi got a job at the White house is because they were Black and Dubya wanted to show off how non racist his administration was. Norman Mineta was another diversity hiree.
