New York Post. He nails it.
Oh Hill no! Clinton’s stale presidential plan wrong for nation
By Michael Goodwin April 11, 2015 | 10:05pm
America's moved on, but Hillary hasn't.
More than five years ago, a Clinton confidant matter-of-factly described for me Hillary’s Plan. She would Âresign as secretary of state after President Obama’s first term, write a book and then run for president again.
Check, check, and, with Sunday’s official launch, check again. Her to-do list is complete.
She stuck like glue to The Plan, which required years of misleading blabber from her and Bubba that she hadn’t decided about 2016. 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.
She’s been on the national stage for a quarter-century, though because of all the drama, it feels like we’ve lived through several lifetimes with her. Along the way, she’s reinvented herself more often than Madonna. While the spectacle of an aging hoofer trying to keep up with the kids is riveting, the kicks aren’t what they used to be and the odor of desperation is unavoidable.
He brings up a lot of good points.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
