Update, John Kerry responds:
Thank god. I thought I liked John Kerry but this is some bs
Damn the rest of the Democratic Party is terrified of Bernie.
Centrist: "hmmm. You know what this race needs to stop bernie? Another centrist to split the ready splitted centrist vote. I can do that cause people like me!"
Bloomberg or Kerry running as an independent would spoil Bernie's chances. Gabbard wished she had that much pull.
I see the future.
This is going to be the only article about this topic, people will get themselves worked up over nothing and he will continue to campaign with Biden and eventually the nominee.
If you want the winner of the Super Bowl I'll give that out too.

There's a large segment of the Democratic Party that's scared shitless of Bernie as President.
Obamas, Clintons, Gores, Kerry's, etc all need to fuck off for good. Nothing to gain from keeping them around.
Let's assume he was quoted accurately. I would take his statements he will only consider running as an independent after confirming Biden losing.
To the contrary, they are afraid a reformist with progressive leanings is going to push the Party towards the Left. Bernie and Warren are both very scary candidates to certain members of the Party.
A Kerry, Biden, Clinton, Obama, etc. administration would largely fill out the executive branch with similar people, or at least people coming from similar pipelines in government and industry. A Sanders administration would be filled with entirely different people. Activists. Scientists. And it wouldn't even stop at the executive branch. The DNC would be completely remade over the next year as well. So yeah, to folk like Kerry it really is that scary. It'd be an unprecedented change.
No, they are afraid that they DO and that the party will be pulled away from what they see as its core current strategy.
Why he thinks he needs to do this, when Bloomberg and his insane money are quite clearly the failsafe should Biden be routed by Sanders earlier than the pundit class currently believes is possible, is beyond me. At the very least, it suggests that the worst fears of Sanders supporters is not true, and there is NO coordination in the establishment, so much as there are a thousand flailing tendrils with no central or peripheral nervous system guiding them.
Al Gore might have won if he ran. He was so early and right on Climate Change. Even the South Park guys admitted they were wrong about Gore.
This is quickly becoming one of the most important secondary considerations.
