It’s the question Democrats can no longer ignore: Who will replace Hillary Clinton?
Martin O’Malley? Toast. Joe Biden? A punch line. Elizabeth Warren? Not ready. Bernie Sanders? Seriously?
“We don’t have a backup,” one top Massachusetts Democrat lamented.
John Kerry, report for duty. Again.
This is not the scenario Democrats really want, but may have to accept if the Clinton campaign continues its death spiral over her family foundation’s shady ties to foreign nations. Even Bill Clinton’s been called in for cleanup, but saying you’ve done nothing “knowingly” wrong isn’t helping.
[Snip]
But unless Warren runs, there’s no one else for Democrats to hook up with.

How about running Jimmy Carter again? He has experience.
I’m a Vietnam vet & before 2004 I had never heard of “three Purple Hearts & going home” like Jean F’n Kerry did. Then he & Jane Fonda called us `war criminals’ and `babykillers’, the worthless b@stard!
Kerry is a wealthy leftwing arrogant pr*ck and I hope he runs again this time against Ted Cruz. It won’t be the first time a Democrat candidate ran, lost, & then ran & lost again.

He’s eligible, too!
we ae surviving 8 years of an ASS in the white hut, why not a HORSE...or a “CHEROKEE” or an early stage Alzheimer patient... IS THIS WHAT AMERICA HAS COME TO..???
yes becasue the FREESHIT crowd outnumbers the workers...
BeldarBlog takes a look at Kerry’s less than honorable discharge that was later upgraded to honorable in 1977 as a result of Jimmah Carter’s general amnesty of Vietnam War draft dodgers & deserters.
I had heard this story but didn’t know if it was accurate.
Mondale!
He was released from active duty in 1970 and transferred to the Ready Reserve (Inactive), and then automatically transferred to the Standby Reserve (Inactive) in 1972. In 1978 he got an honorable discharge (according to Wikipedia). Waiting 8 years for things to cool down was probably a wise move.
I don’t know why the article says Martin O’Malley is toast. (The MSM won’t blame him for Baltimore.) I think he’ll be the Dem’s nominee.
