John Kerry was in Iowa campaigning for Joe Biden, was overheard planning a presidential run because Biden is garbage, and then denied he was going to jump in the race. During the entire process, he dropped multiple F-bombs because he’s edgy AF. Who knows what to believe here, but I think it shows even those closet to Biden get that he ain’t got what it takes and there is growing concern among democrats that socialist Bernie Sanders will be the nominee, guaranteeing a President Trump landslide. Clearly the dems are in panic mode, which means nothing but entertainment for the rest of us.
Let’s start here with this NBC report:
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 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.”
Judging from this, Kerry thinks Biden is a dud, that Bernie is unelectable, and the he is the only one who can save the democratic party. Sure, he’s big loser like the rest of them, but the least competent people often have inflated opinions of their own capabilities and appeal.
As soon as this NBC report came out, Kerry went right back to the F-bombs to deny it:
“As I told the reporter, I am absolutely not running for President. Any report otherwise is fucking (or categorically) false. I’ve been proud to campaign with my good friend Joe Biden, who is going to win the nomination, beat Trump, and make an outstanding president,” wrote Kerry.
Kerry deleted this tweet, which is a pretty strong indication he doesn’t believe what he wrote. He did offer a serious lame explanation for everything to NBC:
He told NBC News later Sunday: “This is a complete and total misinterpretation based on overhearing only one side of a phone conversation. A friend who watches too much cable called me wondering whether I’d ever jump into the race late in the game if Democrats were choosing an unelectable nominee. I listed all the reasons I could not possibly do that and would not — and will not under any circumstances — do that.”
How much cable watching does Kerry consider appropriate?
Even NBC, the propaganda arm for the democratic party, had a hard time believing Kerry’s weak excuse and saw that which was painfully obvious about this overheard conversation:
It’s not clear how serious Kerry was on the call about jumping into the race. But that he would even discuss the possibility suggests that prominent members of the Democratic Party remain deeply unsettled by the current field, Sanders’ strength in the polls and the ability of any candidate to defeat President Donald Trump.
It also suggests that Kerry, who has campaigned with Biden in Iowa and New Hampshire, may be nervous about the former vice president’s chances ahead of Monday’s first-in-the-nation primary caucuses.
Kerry can spin this as much as he wants, but the bottom line is even he knows democrats are doomed in November. Of the two democrats likely to get the party nomination, one is a senile kook with more baggage than Hillary Clinton and the other is a communist. Neither Joe Biden nor Bernie Sanders stands a chance against Trump and the Kerry episode proves the entire party is in full panic mode.
When they get to the point of John Kerry dropping F-bombs, it’s time to freak the f*ck out.
