Just looking for now. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Why not get another septugenarian in the 2020 race? That’s the question posed by John Kerry, according to an NBC News report stating that the 2004 Democratic nominee was overheard at his hotel in Des Moines, Iowa, saying he would consider running if Bernie Sanders turned his recent polling ascendency into a primary win.

Over the phone, the former Massachusetts senator and current Biden surrogate reportedly warned of “the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole,” a result only he could deter. Or not: In the same conversation, Kerry apparently said, “Maybe I’m fucking deluding myself here,” and listed out some reasons not to run, like abdicating his lucrative chair on the board of Bank of America.

In similar language to that in the report, the former Secretary of State denied NBC News’ account on Twitter, before thinking better of his brash statement: If the report of the phone call was accurate, it underscores two ideas that have dominated the primary run-up thus far. First, the Democratic establishment is spooked by Sanders’s strong performance, a concern that the Vermont senator is campaigning on. Second, the Democratic establishment still has wavering confidence in Biden’s ability to turn his strong national polling into an electoral win.

Schiff won't say whether the House will subpoena John BoltonHouse Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff declines to say whether the House will subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton but says, 'the truth will come out' Before he was out of office, the democrats were talking about his lack of credibility. Now they want his expert testimony? The democrats are so transparent, you can see the BS running through their veins. Why did Schiff do it weeks ago? The farce is over. Schiff’s investigation should start soon. Truth has come out, and I am so thankful to President Trump for exposing JoeBiden’s corruption! And I am thankful that Joe is no longer the front runner as a result! Drain the swamp of these corrupt politicians!
