Speculators are Speculating…
John Kerry? He meets some guy with the Carlyle Group and… that’s enough to stick him in the current stock news freed about “furious searches” for some anti-Clinton anti-Sanders Democrat. Sooo… This sums it all up about right.
The New York Times reports today that “some†Democrats were “intrigued†by a meeting Kerry had with billionaire David Rubenstein recently, a person the Times describes as “the sort of Washington wise man Mr. Kerry might consult if he were mulling another run.â€
That’s about the extent of the evidence presented that Kerry wants to be president, or that people would vote for him.
The Times cites “friends†saying he has no interest in another run. The Secretary of State and former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts has repeatedly said he has “zero†interest in a presidential campaign and that he has no inklings to get into the race.
No kidding?
And then there’s this obvious comment, as speculators speculate furiously…
Still, Mr. Biden, Mr. Kerry and Mr. Gore have lost presidential bids before and are hardly guaranteed party saviors — or more popular than Mrs. Clinton among important demographic groups like women, African-Americans and Hispanics.
There is that, isn’t there?
Oh, and … Joseph Biden… who … seems to be the only person not in the race who might end up in the race, and as always it is worth pondering his actual political history. (Jim Webb’s history, sans the symbolic Confederate Flag concern, is better at the issues concerning “Black Lives Matter” than Biden’s history.)
