dangerously incoherent. they're not even really ideas. just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies. >> hillary clinton's blasting trump as tempermently unfit to hold office. >> this is not someone who should have ever have the nuclear code. because it's not hard to imagine donald trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. >> the speech, a point-by-point rebuttal of trump's proposals. on nuclear weapons, where trump suggested letting japan, saudi arabia and south korea have them. >> i wonder if he even realizes he's talking about nuclear war. >> on trump's temporary muslim ban and the wall with mexico. >> remember that plenty of muslims and immigrants serve and fight in our armed forces. >> and even predicting how trump would react to her speech.

up a golf course deal. but it doesn't work like that in world affairs. >> she's talking to people who haven't been convinced by donald trump, but who have their own doubts about hillary clinton. >> a speech aimed as much at republicans and independents as democrats. andrea mitchell, nbc news, san diego. trump continued to be in full attack mode following clinton's speech. saying this about her private email investigation. >> folks, honestly, she's guilty as hell. she's guilty as hell. and the fact that they even -- this is true. the fact that they even allow her to participate in this race is a disgrace to the united states. it's a disgrace to our nation. it's a disgrace. >> he also made a 180-degree reversal on his thoughts regarding new mexico governor susanna martinez, once saying
