This is PRECISELY why Obama picked Kerry. Kerry is a polarizing figure, through which Obama gets a chance once again to go “all in”, letting the chips fall where they may.
If the Swift-Boaters appear once again, and get even a fraction of the attention they got when Kerry ran for President, they will be ignored and/or lambasted by the MSM even more than they were then. Consider the fact that the GOPe are already in the bag for Kerry, with very few dissenters, and you’ve got a perfect storm for “we-need-more-nuance-in-our-foreign-policy” Kerry to be a shoo-in
the new Secretary of State.
Actually I heard today they may hold up him becoming Secretary of State until Hillary testifies.
“Your move Bambi”
And when the SHTF again involving State this stupid white guy will be even easier to throw under the bus than Hillbilly. No one will care. The left doesn't love Lurch like they do The Hildebeast.
