Former Secretary of State John Kerry won't rule out a run for the White House in 2020, but talking about it now is just a distraction, he tells "Face the Nation" anchor Margaret Brennan. The interview will be featured September 2 on CBS' "Sunday Morning" and on "Face the Nation."
Kerry (whose new memoir is titled "Every Day Is Extra") also talks with Brennan about his role in politics today, the current political environment, his relationship with the late Sen. John McCain, and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.
Now in private life, the former Massachusetts senator and Secretary of State under President Obama has watched as much of his political legacy including the Iran nuclear deal and the climate change accord has been upended under the Trump administration. Disappointment in those actions has motivated Kerry to attempt to help Democrats regain political control.
Will he run for president in 2020?
"Talking about 2020 right now is a total distraction and waste of time," Kerry told Brennan. "What we need to do is focus on 2018. We need to win back the confidence of the country to move in a better direction, and to do it in sensible ways."
Please!
Oh, Hillary will be there. Don’t doubt me. And Biden, and Cuomo, and Fauxcahontas, and Kamel Toe, and Bernie, and Cory Booker, and Eric Holder, and a host of other freaks, a-holes and douchebags.
It’s getting crowded, just with politicians from Massachusetts. We already have Pocahontas and Deval Patrick talking about running. John Kerry should wait and see if Michael Dukakis wants to make another try before throwing his hat into the ring.
Does John still get his peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches from the man servant?
Can you imagine a Trump / Kerry debate ?
Mama T! soaking those raisins as we type.
Duk has a helmet not a hat

Throw Bernie Sanders back into the mix and we hit ALL the Democrat demographics.
Howie Carr will have a field day with this -
One comment like “low energy” kerry and he’ll be running for the door
I would love to see him run. If there is anyone as unlikable as Hillary it’s Kerry.
If he is not yet in an orange jump suit, Former Secretary of State John Kerry won't rule out a run for the White House in 2020.
Throwing this idiot in the pot with the rest of the democratic kooks will be funny as hell!
That dog won’t hunt!
Thanks for the memories, Angels...excellent book!!
From an old Swift Boat Sailor.
With McCain as his running mate?
