Here are the questions Donald Trump wished were asked at the debate

Minutes after the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump at Hofstra University ended, the Republican nominee tweeted his displeasure with the questions asked.

"Nothing on emails. Nothing on the corrupt Clinton Foundation. And nothing on #Benghazi," he tweeted. Clinton's emails were brought up in the earlier portion of the debate, after Trump was asked if he would release his taxes. "I will release my tax returns — against my lawyer's wishes — when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted," he said. "As soon as she releases them, I will release."

Clinton was given a chance to respond, and said she "made a mistake using a private e-mail," and if able to "do it over again, I would, obviously, do it differently.
