Former President Bill Clinton talks about lessons learned from the 2008 campaign, but doesn't offer any insight to whether Hillary Clinton could run in 2016.
"The next one will be better," Clinton said in an interview airing Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "It'll be different. Whether she's in it or not, they're all different. And the main thing you can't do, the great trick in any human endeavor, including politics, is you must learn the lessons of your mistakes and your failures without becoming a general who fights the last war, because every new encounter will be shaped by different forces."
Clinton said he didn't realize in 2008 that the calendar and planning had changed since he ran in 1992.

"I think the most important thing that anybody can do-- well, two things, is you've got to have a plan for the future that relates to the people," Clinton said. "You know, this is not about the candidates as much as about having a plan for the future. And secondly, you have to have a strategy for presenting your true self to the voters in an environment where there are unprecedented opportunities for those who don't want you to win to paint a different picture of your true self."
