John Kerry overheard discussing possible 2020 bid amid concern of 'Sanders taking down the Democratic Party'
NBC ^ | 02 02 2020 | Jonathan Allen and Allan Smith

Former Secretary of State John Kerry — one of Joe Biden's highest-profile endorsers — was overheard Sunday on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid "the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole."

Sitting in the lobby restaurant of the Renaissance Savery hotel, Kerry was overheard by an NBC News analyst saying "maybe I'm f---ing deluding myself here" and explaining that in order to run, he'd have to step down from the board of Bank of America and give up his ability to make paid speeches. Kerry said donors like venture capitalist Doug Hickey would have to "raise a couple of million," adding that such donors "now have the reality of Bernie."

Asked about the call later on Sunday, Kerry said that he was "absolutely not" contemplating joining the Democratic primary race.

"Everyone knows that John Kerry is all in for us," Symone Sanders, a senior adviser to the Biden campaign, told NBC News.

It also suggests that Kerry, who has campaigned with Biden in Iowa and New Hampshire, may be nervous about the former vice president's chances ahead of Monday's first-in-the-nation primary caucuses. At a North Liberty, Iowa, campaign event on Saturday, Kerry spoke both after and for longer than Biden did.

Kerry was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, losing to President George W. Bush. He got 251 electoral votes, compared to Bush's 286.

Sanders is technically an Independent, not a Democrat. If the Dems didn’t want him they would have disqualified him. But poor planning on their part. Biden is sinking his own ship. If they oust him Sanders could run 3rd party and still beat any Democrat. Face it the democrat party is being flushed away, it’s just a bowl clogger that doesn’t wat to go down.

IIRC One of Kerry’s sons was the partner of Joe Biden’s kid in one of their corrupt deals. Enjoy explaining that one John.

Lurch has one thing on his mind: Rudy having tangible proof of millions laundered through Lurch JR in Ukraine. If Lurch runs, the drive-bys and he can claim Trump is going after another political rival just like Creepy. Good luck with that Lurch.

John F’n Kerry, Right. He was in Vietnam, you know. Laughing my ass off. The haunt gigolo of D.C. with a Dishonorable Discharge.

Trump would wipe the floor with this worthless piece of traitor shit.

John Kerry, Resume, (Partial)

(This is all from memory, so corrections and amplifications invited...)

1. Claimed minor injuries were due to enemy fire in order to wangle undeserved purple hearts and an early stateside return.

2. Lied to Congress about the Vietnam war

3. Lied about being in a "black ops" unit and mission

4. Declined to release his full military record, including the circumstances and type of his discharge from the Navy.

5. Disgraces himself with a public scene when he threw away his service medals, then of course, lied about that.

6. As (cough, cough) SOS, he assisted in the dreadful iran deal (IIRC, giving the iranians nukes after a brief few years, and also giving them an airplane full of cash, and unfreezing a much larger amount in frozen assets.)

7. Has a special "track record" with rich widows.

The entire Heinz fortune spent on novenas to St. Jude could not raise Kerry’s chances of getting elected above zilch.

Go ahead, Mister Kerry, Run - Run - Run! (Hillary needs at least one candidate to laugh at.)

Bernie: Born 1941
Biden: Born 1942
Kerry: Born 1943

J F’n’K has youth on his side. He looks less enbalmed than Joe, anyway.

Go ahead, Lurch, you know you really want to.

Since it looks like there will be multiple ballots in this convention, Kerry must figure, “Why not jump in? Why not me?”
