Well, she's right...

Clinton just blasted Trump as a dangerous lunatic. The lack of GOP pushback was notable:

Even as Clinton’s 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. We’re not Romania.”

Meanwhile, in a radio interview earlier this week, McConnell said he did not fear Trump would trample the rule of law. “He’ll have a White House counsel,” McConnell said. “There will be others who point out there’s certain things you can do and you can’t do.”

That doesn’t exactly seem heavy on conviction. And regardless, in a separate interview with CNN, McConnell actually conceded that Trump’s divisive rhetoric could harm the GOP in a lasting fashion among Latinos, just as Barry Goldwater’s 1964 candidacy harmed the GOP with African Americans.........

Remember when Nixon fired the Watergate prosecutor?
Trump remembers it for sure.
