Colin Powell was probably, at least in my view, the sanest of the people to serve in W. Bush's cabinet. While that might be like saying that he was the item on the Taco Bell menu least likely to send you sprinting to a bathroom, the dude has made a number of statements over the years that make me believe that he has flirted with the idea of having principles other than a lust for power and profit. If he was actively in public office today I'm sure he would be decried as a "liberal democrat" by Trump et al.
That said, this isn't a transformational moment regarding Powell either. The dude was way more measured than most Republicans in his criticism of Obama, openly stated that he agreed with some of Obama's regulatory and financial decisions, and thought that the Benghazi hearings were stupid.

I know most of the comments will be about his role in the Bush admin but we need people like this to speak up. While it won't change how left leaning people see the situation it might pull people from the right and "show them the light"

Trump is doing exactly what the GOP want. He's not the outlier.
