“She's using the rallies as interviews. No, no, that's not the same thing. You have to go out there and fight fire with fire.

And he's saying, 'Where is she?'”

You can't answer that question by not showing up,” he continued. “It's working out great now, but don't get me wrong… it's not going to work out. She has to show up and show up just like him.
