If Donald Trump mentions former president Bill Clinton's past affairs at the next presidential debate, the Democratic nominee will be prepared, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook said on CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday.

At the end of Monday's debate, Trump said "I'm very happy that I was able to hold back … on the indiscretions with respect to Bill Clinton, because I have a lot of respect for Chelsea Clinton and I just didn't want to say what I was going to say," before adding that he might bring up the issue at the next debate.

"Hillary is ready for anything," Mook said. "She's experienced at these debates. I'm not concerned about that. It's just sad that we can't have an actual discussion about the issues because Donald Trump doesn't have a command of the issues."

Mook dismissed Trump's comments on the indiscretions as "such an obvious dodge. He spiraled out at the end of the debate and so, of course, he wants to bully."

He added that "The American people want to hear about how someone's going to create jobs, how they're going to help them afford education and child care. He came with no plans, he came with no substance and he had no command of the issues. This is his way of wallpapering that."

Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News' 'Fox & Friends" program "it's a presidential virtue" the restraint Trump showed in not bringing up the issue of Bill Clinton's sexual indiscretions.
