Donald Trump said a general election competition with Hillary Clinton would be “an easy race.”

But Trump went a step further during his post-Super Tuesday press conference, predicting legal woes over the use of a private email server would knock Clinton out of the race all together.

"What she did is a criminal act," Trump said. "If she's allowed to run, I would be very, very surprised," Trump said.

Trump’s remarks came during a Tuesday night victory lap after he was quickly declared the winner in five Super Tuesday states. Clinton was having a similarly strong night, having won six states.

Trump also declared opponent Marco Rubio “the big loser of the night” while taking questions.
