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."

“...maybe I’m f-—ing deluding myself here”

I believe Lincoln said those exact same words back in 1859.

Lowering all the Democrat boats has made Mr. Swiftboat think he can get out of the muck it would seem? Great news just to get O’l Crusty violently out of control!

Why would anyone eat at a restaurant that doesn’t know how to spell “savory?” “Savery” isn’t even a word.

I hope he runs, it was so much fun swift-boating him the first time!!!

I have had a feeling that incident with the Iranians and our riverine sailors was a John Kerry backed effort to 'get back,' at least as close as he could get to humiliate Navy vets for swiftboating him.

Yeah, it was a real treat having that jackass as your Senator. Of course, I had Manbearpig as mine. They both were in the same Senate class of 1984. :-P

BoA was the first to give illegal aliens free cc’s, in 2007, with no ID, and zero monthly balance interest. They’re scumbags.

Even the Snopes trash rates it “TRUE”.

Kerry running would only split the vote of the “moderate” (no such thing) dems and assure someone like crazy Bernie wins the dem nomination.

I hope not. But given that possibility we need to do all we can to damage the Dems before then.
