"History Rhymes"

Oh Hill no! Clinton's stale presidential plan wrong for nation. http://tiny.iavian.net/4uxk

This is the most honest and poignant piece on Hillary's 2016 run I've read thus far. A Clinton running for office seems to be just another robotic move in American politics with nothing fresh, new, or riveting. The writer says the following:

Fish gotta swim, and a Clinton’s gotta run, so there was never an iota of doubt.

But time has marched on and the world has changed, making The Plan, and her, look stuck in the past. What the great Murray Kempton wrote in 1965 of John Lindsay’s first mayoral run — “He is fresh and everyone else is tired” — is not something anybody says of Hillary these days.

Furthermore, there is a heavy cloud of dishonesty that follows Clinton. The article mentions a poll taken showing many Americans believe exactly that.

The timing just doesn't seem right. Her best chances were in 2008 but we saw how a fresh, new, and riveting young challenger named Obama end that run as well.
