John Kerry’s brand of Boston diplomacy pays off

11. I would seriously doubt it

First of all, I assume he would want to work on the problems until the term ends. He would have to step down as SoS because that position is not allowed to be involved in politics. Not to mention, at age 71 this December and with Teresa having recovered from serious medical issues, I doubt he would be at all inclined to get back into the political sphere. (Consider if he did the attacks that he and Teresa would face. Note that even as SoS, the more successful he is, the more rw nonsense there is.)

With Hillary as the likely Democratic nominee, I don't think that she would actually allow him - or almost anyone - to have a key role in shaping her administration. I would imagine that his role in any future administration might be as a special diplomatic envoy. (I would actually love it if he instead wrote a book about his foreign policy vision or about his incredible, well lived life.)
