The decision between her and Trump won't be made by moderates, let alone the majority. There's a far few steps between this comment and the current reality.

  1. Trump should be removed from the ballot, for his crimes
  2. Trump supporters need to be convinced that that is right
  3. Republicans should lose the election, for the fact they do not represent any reasonable majority
  4. Trump supporters need to be convinced that that is right

Points 2 and 4 currently lie beyond that of any rational democratic system. Civil war is looming. Meanwhile, the US' enemies are looking for an opening to change the status quo - and Trump is ready to hold the door open to them.
