Watergate? Really?
Both Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice (under Republican President George W. Bush) and Colin Powell had Classified Documents on Private Email. So why has this become a goliath for Hillary only?
Selective Attention, according to Communication Theory, is our tendency to focus on information that confirms our preconceptions.
We are first emotional, not rational, beings. At this point, there is little critical thinking while conspiracy theories fly. This is not Watergate, which involved breakins, secret recordings and a vast Republican conspiracy. It is, rather, an understandably cautious person following precedent.
The U.S. does need change, and I cannot say that Hillary is the answer. Like all of us, including past Presidents, she is flawed. But it is crucial that the U.S. elect a qualified, rational candidate and responsible Senate and House capable of compromise.
