Powell's emails - The two responses

Colin Powell slammed both presidential candidates and their responses is a lesson in character study.

Trump tweeted " I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq=disaster.  We can do better."

Clinton in a phone interview with the the Tom Joyner TV show's response". I have a great deal of respect for Colin Powell, and I have a lot of sympathy for anyone whose emails become public" she said.  

She continued " I'm not going to start discussing someone else's private emails because I've already spent a lot of time talking about my own". 

Once again Trump strikes back like a little two year old.  

A prerequiste for president is a tough skin.  On the foreign stage you can't react like a two year old every time someone you perceive isn't being "nice" to you or "run their little boats around our beautiful destroyers and make gestures to our sailors" so you are going to shoot the little boats out of the water.  Or attack a Flint, MI minister for stopping him from giving his political speech attacking Hillary when he should have been specifically talking about the residents of Flint and what they have been through the last two years.  

He did get caught in yet another lie.  One of the folks at the Church yelled out how Trump has discriminated against blacks by not renting them apartments in his and his father's NY apt buildings.   Trump said no never but yet it's well documented that both him and his father did indeed descriminate against blacks by finding ways not to rent to black folks.

As to Powell's comments about Hillary.  While I agree that sometimes she can be her own worst enemy I do feel that some of his remarks were sexist.

Dude, the woman is running for president of course she is going to  have  unbridled ambition.  And if he meant she was greedy because "she wants it all" well guess what you can say the same thing about any man running for the office.  And as to her "hubris".   Those characteristics are part of the ego necessary for a potential presidential candidates to put up with all the crap the American people put them through.  And all too often these characteristics in powerful women are considered a fault while in a man its to be expected.
