She has no stamina. The candidate who gets a majority is the nominee.

Donald Trump on Monday morning hit Hillary Clinton for offending “the Indians” by using the phrase “off the reservation” while discussing Trump’s attacks on her throughout the campaign.
But the Manhattan real estate tycoon had the support of 73 percent of Republicans, while 77 percent of Democrats backed the former first lady.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke at the Detroit NAACP Annual 61st Dinner on Sunday, speaking about mass incarceration, unequal access to education and equal access to home ownership. In this survey, Donald Trump is -29 (33 fav/62 unfav) with 50% of the electorate having a very unfavorable view of him.
We found seven April polls at realclearpolitics.com that asked respondents about how they would vote if Clinton faced off against Trump in November. And it’s true: “If she were not a woman, she wouldn’t even be in this race”.
“If I made that statement about women, then there’d be front page headlines”, he said. But if no candidate captures a majority of the delegates at stake in primaries and caucuses by the time the final contests are complete June 7, 60% of Republican voters say the delegates should vote for the candidate with the most support in the primaries, 37% for the one they think is the best candidate. If he was to pull out a miracle in Ohio, Senator Cruz would trail Secretary Clinton by only 9% (48-39) by making slight improvements amongst NMP’s & Hispanics, but still losing them.
“Really? OK”, Trump replied. “It’s one of the reasons he can’t win a general election”.
He has mocked the face of onetime GOP rival Carly Fiorina, who’s now Cruz’s running mate.
The billionaire claimed on Fox News last Sunday that the only thing “going for her” is her gender. He described Rosie O’Donnell as “my nice fat little Rosie” in a 2006 spat.
Like Kasich, Cruz is already mathematically eliminated from reaching a delegate majority before the Republican Party’s national convention in July, but the two were hoping to garner enough delegates to deny Trump a majority.
That lack of enthusiasm for the candidates trying to catch Trump may be behind tepid support for the race to even continue. Likewise, 19 percent said a woman would be at least somewhat more likely to get their vote. “People know, whether conservative or progressive, that a corrupt campaign finance system is undermining American democracy, they understand that there is something fundamentally wrong when the average American is working longer hours for lower wages”, he said, adding a long list of his stump speech pledges: countering climate change, reforming education and healthcare, breaking up the biggest banks.
Karlyn Bowman, a public opinion analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, cautioned that both Trump and Clinton “have a problem with gender in this election”. Instead, she criticized Trump for embracing GOP economic policies that have left everyday workers behind. That sentiment once elected Clinton’s husband; it could also elect her opponent this fall.
“Within the next week, he put out a plan for what he said he would do to address their concerns”, she said.
Clinton is betting on gender.

The businessman also touted his candidacy as the one that best represents the interests of women voters. Clinton is backed by 77 percent of the Democrats, while 91 percent think she will be the nominee.
