Nothing like a loser; tying for a'win/win' on that cake; not a pretty sight, for sure.
Kerry is walking a tight rope; so to speak; as he must depend on new friends; while trying not to alienate those that 'expedited' him along the 'Leftist' trail.
As for 'real' friends; no indication that he has any.
People like this don't have friends. They use and are used.
