Former Secretary of State John Kerry would not rule out a 2020 run for president in an interview with CBS News, and said that he plans to stay politically active during President Trump’s administration, The Hill reports.

Said Kerry: “Talking about 2020 right now is a total distraction and waste of time. What we need to do is focus on 2018. We need to win back the confidence of the country to move in a better direction and to do it in sensible ways.”

He added: “We are in a moment of crisis for our country. The world is in a moment of crisis.”

1. This makes me smile because of what he said, to me, when I met him

I was wearing my 'Veterans for Kerry' button, and he advised me to hang on to it. And I have.

2. He's another good man

Who has served his country, and could have a good chance .

3. bs from a bored media that would target turn every story into

"are they running or not" and polls and horse races instead of reporting on midterms.

6. Simple solution: Don't respond to questions from your "bored media." Given the tumult...

this country is in, I find it hard to believe there's such a thing as your "bored media"

4. He would serve the country well, but...

he's currently 74. He would enter the presidency at age 76, which I feel is too old at this point. Same thing with Biden. Love them both, but I want someone that can serve 8 years without losing their mental sharpness or physical health.

5. Look at the actual quote. He cut off discussion on 2020 period and redirected to 2018
