Asked whether Hillary Clinton had got under his skin, Mr Trump said "at the end maybe, at the very last question". Mrs Clinton noted that it was her granddaughter Charlotte's second birthday as she pledged to achieve gender parity in the workplace and increase taxes for the wealthy. "And you know what else I prepared for? If anything might have influenced me, besides studying the issue more closely, it was through the wise counsel of my good friend Bernie Sanders".
