The journalist takes issue with Lauer devoting one-third of his question time to Hillary Clinton’s private email server, an issue that has been dragging the Democratic candidate down in the polls. If you’re thinking about what’s next or how little time there is to get through this answer, you’re not going to hear Trump tell a lie.
Here are those and other moments each candidate may come to regret in the days ahead.
He also labeled her as “unstable” and “trigger-happy”.
Clinton repeated the admission that her personal account use was a mistake. “Always have, always will”.
“Sometimes it seemed like there wasn’t a country in the Middle East that Hillary Clinton didn’t want to invade, intervene in, or topple”, the Republican nominee said.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn’t lose voters, okay?” the pompous real estate mogul said at an Iowa rally in January.
Mr Trump’s response boiled down to: 1) Yes, he did have a plan.
Still, Mr. Vargas said Mr. Trump needs to do more if he’s to erase a year’s worth of harsh rhetoric against illegal immigrants. This, despite NBC’s billing of the event as a forum on veterans’ issues. At one point, when a veteran in the audience asked Clinton for her plan to defeat ISIS, Lauer interjected, telling Clinton to reply “as briefly as you can”.
“26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military – only 238 convictions”, he had written.
