Clinton just blasted Trump as a dangerous lunatic. The lack of GOP pushback was notable:Even as Clintons attacks on Trump were receiving widespread media attention and being digested by the political classes, Republicans were actually in defensive mode about the very criticisms of Trump that Clinton launched.
For instance, the New York Times reports this morning that legal experts worry that a Trump presidency represents a genuine authoritarian threat and could precipitate a real constitutional crisis. In the article, Senator John McCain gamely defended Trump, saying he did not think that a Trump presidency endangers the nation. McCain added: We have a Congress. We have the Supreme Court. Were not Romania.
Meanwhile, in a radio interview earlier this week, McConnell said he did not fear Trump would trample the rule of law. Hell have a White House counsel, McConnell said. There will be others who point out theres certain things you can do and you cant do.
That doesnt exactly seem heavy on conviction. And regardless, in a separate interview with CNN, McConnell actually conceded that Trumps divisive rhetoric could harm the GOP in a lasting fashion among Latinos, just as Barry Goldwaters 1964 candidacy harmed the GOP with African Americans.........

have to rely on the pukes in the house and senate, particularly the leadership, to get things done, and that was why he endorsed the hairpiece.
