What Trump should have said in response to Hillary's compliment to his family is something like this, “Yes, I’m proud of my children. And as Ivanka and Chelsea are friends I’ve been able to see how fine a daughter you’ve raised. And then he should have pivoted as Hillary did to his closing statement, something like, “But to raise up America to greatness we need new leadership….”

You missed the whole point. Trump says he didn't raise his kids, that's women's work. It was a jab! Coyotl Oct 2016 #5
