Apparently, he really disliked Donald Trump - and that doesn't surprise me given the differences of their personalities and ambitions. Powell belonged to a different time and a different set of values.
I think he would have been elected had he decided to run - I think people respected his integrity and his leadership and felt he got a raw deal by Bush and company. He was clearly the odd man out on many fronts. But I don't think people would have voted for or against him because of his race - I think he was generally admired for his integrity and the way he dealt with things. Although he had political savy, I don't think anyone ever regarded him as a politican.
I hope that he enjoyed his post-political life. They said he had a corvette that liked to drive fast.
