• Trump clash. Looks like Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka might not be on the same page.

Appearing at the 2016 Most Powerful Women Summit yesterday, Ivanka Trump told Time editor Nancy Gibbs that her father will accept the result of the election even if he loses, saying he'll "do the right thing."

But last night at the debate in Las Vegas, her father took a very different tack when asked by moderator Chris Wallace whether he will accept the results of the election: "I will look at it at the time... I will keep you in suspense."

Hillary Clinton, calling her opponent's response "horrifying," said Trump cries "rigged!" every time he loses — including when The Apprentice was passed over for an Emmy. Trump's response? "Should've gotten it."

The room where I was watching responded with guffaws. And why not — it was a funny line. Still, comedy is not what I'm looking for in a presidential debate. Fortune

• Jarring Ivanka. Ivanka Trump also said that she found her father's remarks about using his celebrity to kiss and grope women without their consent to be "offensive." She said that he apologized to her, adding, "That's not language consistent with any conversation I've ever had with him certainly or any conversation I've overheard, so it was a bit jarring for me to hear, and he was very sincere in his apology."

• Defining discrimination. Ruth Porat, the CFO of Google parent Alphabet, said she believes that Hillary Clinton has faced gender discrimination in both the primary and general election.

• Ivanka and Anita. When Fortune's Nina Easton tweeted a photo of Ivanka Trump and Anita Hill meeting in the greenroom at the MPW summit, Twitter went into a "tailspin," as The Daily Beast put it, on speculation that the two were having a confrontation. In reality, it was a friendly encounter. Even so, the pub dubbed the image an "arresting meeting of feminist flashpoints." Daily Beast
