During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Sunday morning, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump turned Hillary Clinton’s attacks on him against her.
“Do you really think Bill Clinton is fair game in the race?” fill-in host Ed Henry asked Trump.
“I do think he is fair game,” Trump responded, saying Bill Clinton’s presidency was “very troubled, to put it mildly, because of all of the things that she’s talking to me about.”
Trump pointed out he turned her words against her in a tweet.
“Hillary Clinton has announced that she is letting her husband out to campaign but HE’S DEMONSTRATED A PENCHANT FOR SEXISM, so inappropriate,” Trump wrote Saturday night.
Hillary Clinton has announced that she is letting her husband out to campaign but HE'S DEMONSTRATED A PENCHANT FOR SEXISM, so inappropriate!

“I turned her words against her from that standpoint,” Trump told the hosts.
Trump said on “Fox & Friends” many women have come up to him while campaigning around the country, disgusted that Hillary is playing the “women’s card.” Trumps aid women are more upset about it than anybody else and added most men are disgusted by it, too.
“I’ve had so many women come up to me and say, ‘You’ve got to keep her out — she’s terrible.'”
A couple hours earlier, he vowed to do more for women than Hillary and accused her of having “no strength/stamina.”
I will do far more for women than Hillary, and I will keep our country safe, something which she will not be able to do-no strength/stamina!

Trump told Henry that he’s not taking anything for granted, despite focusing on the Clintons.
“So you think that you’re so far ahead in the GOP nomination battle, you’re ready to take Hillary Clinton on, head on?” Henry asked.
“No, I don’t feel that I’m so far ahead. I’m doing well, but I never feel I’m so far ahead. I could be in a baseball game and be 10 runs up in the 9th inning and I wouldn’t feel I’m so far ahead,” Trump responded.
“I never feel that. … As Yogi (Berra) said, ‘It’s not over ’til it’s over.”
In part 2 of Trump’s interview, the frontrunner reacted to the news that Rep. Trey Gowdy would be supporting Marco Rubio’s candidacy by making appearances in Iowa on his behalf.
“I hope he does a lot better for Marco than he did for the Benghazi hearings,” saying they were a disaster for the country.
Trump said his New Year’s resolution was to see better treatment for American veterans in light of the VA scandal.
