Hillary Clinton's age and health status are "fair game" if she throws her hat into the race for the 2016 presidency, the Republican Party leader said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

I dont think theres a graceful way to bring up age, health and fitness for a candidate who wants to be president of the United States, said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus when asked about reports that Republican strategist Karl Rove claimed Clinton could have suffered brain damage from a blood clot two years ago.

"It was fair game for Ronald Reagan. It was fair game for John McCain," Priebus added.

Reagan took office in 1981 at age 69, and McCain was 72 on Election Day in 2008. Clinton is currently 66 years old.

Rove questioned Clinton's mental ability at a conference, the New York Post reported Monday. The GOP strategist, on Tuesday and again on Sunday, denied that he used the phrase brain damage, as the Post headline said, but reiterated that Clinton will have to answer questions about her serious health episode.

And she would not be human if she were not if she did not take this into consideration. She'll be 69 at the time of the 2016 election. If she gets elected two terms, she'll be 77, Rove said on Fox News Sunday.

Priebus refused to say on Sunday that Rove should apologize for his statements.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., who has already endorsed Clinton for president, called Rove's comments a "cheap political shot," implying the the GOP is afraid of Clinton as a candidate. McCaskill added that although "we do not know for certain whether Hillary is going to run," the comments of Republicans wouldn't be what stops her.

Priebus contested McCaskill's assertions. "I actually doubt very much that she will decide to run in 2016," he said.

Hillary Clinton's Health is 'Fair Game' in 2016, Says Republican Chairman

Hillary Clinton was the subject that consumed the political talk shows, as questions continued to be raised about Karl Roves comments regarding her health.

While Republicans attacked the noncandidate, Democrats defended her but also expressed concern over her strategy so far in advance of the next presidential election.

If you missed the Sunday political talk shows, well get you up to speed on the latest events and opinion in Washington with this comprehensive roundup of all things political:

Hillary Clinton: Its widely accepted that it hasnt been a good couple of weeks for Hillary Clinton. She is being attacked by Republicans over various foreign policy problems, including Benghazi and Boko Haram; her approval ratings are sliding, Monica Lewinsky spoke out, and Bill Clintons vocal defense could be making things worse.

And now some Democrats are questioning aspects of her strategy.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said he is concerned about the inevitability factor with a potential Clinton nomination.

I do worry about the inevitability thing, Patrick said on CNNs State of the Union, adding that its off-putting to the average voter.

I think that was an element of her campaign the last time, he said, without having to specify how that turned out (Barack Obama won). I just hope that the people around her pay attention to that this time around.

Clinton said she was going to take it easy and catch up on her sleep after she stepped down as secretary of state last year, but she took little downtime and immediately turned to writing a book, Hard Choices, that is to be released next month. She has also been traveling the country to make paid speeches, stoking speculation that she is strategically plotting a presidential run.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, expressed concerns similar to Patricks.
