DES MOINES, Iowa — 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."

Well we can drop the fringe thing for Democrats. They don’t have any, all they have now are just lunatics.
To: hal ogen
Well McCain did. Kerry at one point was even considering McCain to be his running mate. Not one but two traitors on the same ticket.

Good God! If W could beat him easily imagine what DJT could do!
Hate to say this, but W did not beat him by much. If Kerry had carried Ohio, he would have won the election.

Assuming you are right (not a given imho), all the more reason we need to put as many R’s as possible in Congress and Senate in order to ensure the courts, mainly supreme, are strongly constitutionalists before that happens.

Too nice.
But I suppose what I would really like to call him would get me banned.
