What do you want, anyway? A signed note from God?

Via MelissaTweets. Now, admittedly, Kerry said ‘Not right now.’ But he also said that he would be maybe someday, which is an exceedingly odd attitude for a 71 year old to take. Then again, he may have – and this is the interpretation that I like – simply decided that this would be the fastest way to shut up Andrea Mitchell, who was the one who asked John Kerry the question about whether he’d run in the first place.
But that’s all unimportant. What’s important is that the Democratic wing of the Beltway ‘elite’ is getting increasingly desperate to find somebody, anybody who isn’t Hillary Rodham Clinton. And they never expected to be in this situation with such a frightening-to-them lack of viable, interesting, and reasonably young alternatives at hand. Which is (and I will keep banging away at this point, until it sticks) why it was still so incredibly smart of the Republican grassroots to come out in 2010 and 2014. Doing so paid for itself in the states, several times over. There’s something to be said for strategically blighting liberal and progressive political careers…

I love how all these big name important Dems are too terrified of the Clintons to enter the race before HRC gets out. At this point Hillary may be stonewalling the press on her emails but she’s also stonewalling any competitive Dems from getting into the race. By the time she decides to get out Sanders will be the nominee.
i’m pretty sure Biden is not terrified. Bernie is only terrified of the BLM people. and if Al the sex poodle is making noises the private polls must be show huge amounts of blood in the water. like i’ve said before – Hillary! needs to just fake a stroke so she can play with her grandkid for a few more years.
Kerry, Gore and Biden: the Three Stooges of the Democratic Party.
And if the GOP doesn’t manage to get it’s collective $#!* together, one of them will be the next President of the United States of America…
It will be interesting to see how far down the bench they go for a nominee for VICE President. Surely they won’t fill that position with a retread.
That’s an interesting thought, actually. And given the age of the primary people running for prez, the vice prez could have a higher than usual chance to step in.
I must offer a kudo on your titling of this piece, Mr. Lane. Well played.
