John Kerry

I think that with Trump's win, Kerry has doubled down with what he vaguely spoke of doing before the election happened. He made it clear in Morroco at the climate change conference, that he will be there fighting on that issue.

Kerry has strongly hinted that he wants to stay involved in both climate change and peace efforts. Before considering that little could be done without government power on the latter, one chould consider that it was Kerry who suggested a method to move forward in Cambodia with war crime trials. He was a Senator and the UN and Cambodians agreed that it would work. The UN later used that method in the Ivory Coast. Kerry is a very skilled negotiator and diplomat.

He has also spoken of writing a book. He has a far more interesting, fascinating life with incredible accomplishments. It would be interesting to read his perspective on many many things. Likewise, in various speeches he has articulated a vision on foreign policy that should be written about, studied and considered.

I get that he will note take an extended vacation and completely drop from sight for many many months, but he clearly has spoken of the how much he has valued the times he has spent with his family. I hope he has lots of fun with his and Teresa's grandchildren.
