Which is an important feature amongst Republicans these days. The House lost votes among their GOP women when they tried to ram through that abortion bill a while back. Despite having more women amongst their politicians these days, the GOP has doubled down on rhetoric involving control of women's choices and sexuality, and with stuff like the hobby lobby disaster, that impacts how women vote if they aren't otherwise hardcore conservative supporters.
Hillary's basically a shoo-in for President unless something happens to tank the economy in the next 18 months. America's recovering at a good clip now, and whether they're responsible or not, the president's party gets credit for that. Add in tanking Republican credibility amongst voter demographics that do turn out for Presidential elections (young, minorities, single women), and you've got a slam dunk.
You would need an exogenous disaster (economic or terrorism related), or for a scandal to come up which sinks Clinton at a point in time that it's too late for the Dems to switch candidates (because it could as easily be O'Malley instead, if she gets sunk too soon).
