Hillary Clinton was saddled with the reputation for being secretive and evasive. During her failed presidential bid she was hurt by, among other things, charges that she had failed to reveal the content of her emails, and that she was the object of an ongoing FBI investigation. How did her reputation interfere with her ability to persuasively address charges of corruption?
What will be an ideal response?
Secrecy and evasion run contrary to our expectations for healthy argumentative behavior.
This climate of mistrust led many to view her defenses as insufficient owing to the adverse
impact her reputation had on her credibility. An ideal answer would stress how those who
viewed her as an unreliable narrator would likely question any evidence she might offer as her
defense.
