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."

6. Hard to believe after all the crap Bush and his cronies put him through.

7. Of course you left out the next two paragraphs:

Asked about the call later on Sunday, Kerry said that he was "absolutely not" contemplating joining the Democratic primary race.

"Everyone knows that John Kerry is all in for us," Symone Sanders, a senior adviser to the Biden campaign, told NBC News.

18. Aw, you ruined it!

[CentralMass]

8. Wow.

[still_one]

9. Perhaps the MSM could actually report real news. They pushed similar bullshit about Hillary

[blm]

10. No. NBC reporter heard Kerry reminiscing about the excitement of campaigning

This is pure silliness from the reporter.

[oasis]

21. With due respect, it was much more than pure "silliness". The reporter

was putting out pure "bullcrap" and he damn well knew what he was doing.

That's not the John Kerry we know.

greetings blm.

25. Jonathan Allen was the eavesdropping fact distorter. He co-wrote

"Shattered" the post 2016 General election hit job on Hillary.

He's just another hack "reporter" in search of a scoop.

[Demsrule86]

11. More bullshit.

[Tiggeroshii]

12. Agreed

[tirebiter]

13. First, has this been verified?

Second, thank god someone’s watching our security needs.

20. Secretary Kerry denied it.

Asked about the call later on Sunday, Kerry said that he was "absolutely not" contemplating joining the Democratic primary race.

Jonathan Allen tends to be a shit-stirring gossip at times.

Why he's still flogging a denied "report" based on one side of an eavesdropped two-sided telephone conversation in a hotel lobby pretty much shows the depth of his journalistic ethics. Anything for a click.

14. I'd prefer Gore, personally, if we're going back to the nostalgia bin

Hell, I'd prefer Carter or Mondale, though given their health I couldn't bear to ask either of them to.

And I love John Kerry, by the way. Wonderful man. Wonderful secretary of state. Not who we need right now.

[Tiggeroshii]

15. Absolutely agreed

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. This 2020?

Aw, come on...

[OKNancy]

19. Kerry ". Any report otherwise is fucking (or categorically) false."

As I told the reporter, I am absolutely not running for President. Any report otherwise is fucking (or categorically) false. I’ve been proud to campaign with my good
friend Joe Biden, who is going to win the nomination, beat Trump, and make an outstanding president.
