He endorsed Obama in 2008 and 2012. In 2012, he particularly cited Obama's position on immigration and climate change.

Moreover, Powell, earlier this year, expressed criticism of the negative campaigns by the GOP candidates, saying the race has "gone into the mud."

As Powell supported Obama twice, voiced support for immigration policies like DACA, and dislikes negative campaigning, it seems obvious that he will endorse Hillary soon.

He will endorse Clinton at some point, much like he did Obama.  He has close ties to the Clintons and his endorsement will be timed to hurt Trump.

He endorses Clinton, or no one at all and stays out of the election entirely.

Powell isn't really a republican anymore. He'll endorse Clinton.

Hillary. He'll back whoever kills the least Muslims to absolve his sins from getting so many killed in Iraq with bad propaganda.

Powell, like any reasonable person is disgusted by the rightward shift the Republican party has taken since the 90's.

The great missed opportunity known as Powell 2000 will endorse Hillary.

(Maybe I should resurrect that Timeline?)

Clinton or no one at all. All of the Bush people seem to be lining up behind Hillary.

I don't think he'll make a statement, but someone will probably ask and he'll say that he's supporting Clinton.

Isn't he that person who  deceived the whole world about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Is he still at large? Not indicted?
Of course he will endorse Clinton who is the same egregious liar. Одного поля ягоды.

If Powell couldn't find common ground with John McCain, I doubt he'll find it with Trump.
