For several months now, The Donald has been saying that Hillary doesn't have the physical strength to be president.
Here is an exact quote:
“Hillary Clinton does not have the stamina, doesn't have the energy, she doesn't have it, she doesn't have the strength to be president.”
(CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer)

Of the two candidates, Trump is the oldest of the candidates running for president. In fact, Trump is one of the oldest major party presidential nominee in history, more than a year older than Hillary is (Hillary was born Oct. 26, 1947, Trump was born June 14, 1946).
So, there's really not that big a difference in age, except that Hillary's more than a year younger than Trump. She's released her medical records and is in good health. So, it’s not because of her age that Trump thinks she’s not strong enough, apparently. And there’s no medical evidence.
There’s no difference between the two candidates in terms of their engaging in a rigorous campaign schedule. In fact, an argument could easily be made that Hillary's campaign schedule is even more rigorous than Trump's.
So, the two candidates are approximately the same age, though Trump's a bit older, they have both been engaged in rigorous campaign schedules and there has been no evidence that Hillary is tired, lethargic or lacking in strength or stamina. Certainly, no more so than anyone else who is running, including Trump.
So...exactly what is it about Hillary that makes The Donald swear up and down that she isn't “strong” enough, despite that she's younger, in fine medical health and has shown no evidence of being any less physically strong than any other presidential candidate?
Is it because she's a woman? Is that what he means when he claims she doesn't have “the strength?”
She has certainly demonstrated far greater intellectual strength than many of her competitors, including Trump. She hasn't demonstrated any more fatigue than any other candidate running for the nation's highest office.
So, exactly what is it about Hillary that Trump thinks makes her lacking in physical strength?
Instead of sitting there and letting Trump get away with yet another unfounded accusation, it would be nice if the next time Wolf Blitzer or any other interviewer finds Trump hurling this accusation they could ask him to cite, specifically, anything to factually back up this claim.
And, while they are at it, they might ask if they think it’s because she’s a woman that he thinks she is not strong enough.
