Donald Trump actually said...

"I want do the next debate but everybody is talking about the mic."

"She's nasty, but I can be nastier than she ever can be."

"I want to participate in the second debate, you know, the microphone situation needs to be fixed."

"it's about saying who these people are and, you know, calling them out, and getting people focused on the right things and hopefully voters will pay attention to that."
