Leading off a discussion with Atlantic reporter Jeffrey Goldberg at the top of 8 a.m. ET hour of CBS This Morning on Friday about Hillary Clinton's Trump-bashing speech, co-host Charlie Rose hoped: “Is this perhaps a turning point for the Clinton campaign in terms of the way she ridiculed Donald Trump?” Goldberg asserted: “Right, it absolutely is. Yesterday was pivotal....Yesterday's speech was not really a foreign policy speech, it was more like a psychiatric indictment of her opponent...”

Fellow co-host Norah O’Donnell raved: “It was a point-by-point indictment, using his own words as evidence against him....And the idea that he is unfit to command, to be commander in chief....And control the nuclear codes.” Goldberg piled on: “I think that what she's going to do over the next five months is keep hammering that point home, that this man is not mentally stable.”
