    John Kerry overheard discussing possible 2020 bid amid concern of 'Sanders taking down the Democratic Party'

    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."

    This has got to be bad news for Joe Biden-who has fallen in the polls lately and who has seen at least 2 other dems-Duvall Patrick and Mike Bloomberg step into the race as establishment picks.

    Kerry (A white male billionaire) has been on the road stumping for Joe Biden and presumably trying to prop up his failing campaign.

    Kerry now denies making the statements but since it would confirm the DNC's concern, that is the expected response.

    Bernie is leading by 7 points according to the latest emerson poll and has a superior ground game compared to Biden.

    He's not an "establishment dem", and is in fact an independent.

    They can't control him like they could with a Biden or Warren.

    The DNC has gone as far as to even suppress the latest polling because it shows Bernie leading.

    Like most of the country, we, and I'm assuming the DNC, too, don't like the idea of having to eat our pets if Sanders wins.

    I’m guessing all those rich DNC elites are afraid Bernie’s communist policies will redistribute all of their wealth, lol. The Dems only pretend to care about the poor and downtrodden. In reality they want to stay wealthy and control the poor and downtrodden, not raise them up.

    He is an unwinnable candidate.

    Let him debate in the General and he will get destroyed. He will then actually have to answer questions about his stupid ideas that will show them as stupid.

    Y'know, think about what you just said. You're saying that the media is gonna take sides. I mean yeah, you're stating the obvious but imagine someone saying "The MSM cannot attack Trump for that would help Sanders!" That sentence is unimaginable. But your own is actually quite believable. That's actually kind of a pathetic statement on the press' lack of standards.

    The Legacy Media is supposed to simply report the news, not take sides. But for all intents and purposes they are now an arm of the DNC. I mean, when you look at the commercial that uses actual CNN footage where they openly mock Trump supporters at this thread HERE it really highlights the point that the MSM is about as far as neutral and unbiased as you can possibly get. And that's pretty typical behavior, not just from CNN but all around the dial.

    I daresay that if the Legacy Media were actually truly neutral and cared about the professional ethics they've forgotten, Trump might be polling a good 20 points higher than he is.

    The DNC doesn’t have anyone who could be on a debate stage without getting laughed at.

    If Sanders is the democrats nominee you will see half a dozen moderates throw their hat in the ring. Everybody knows he can't win the general election.
