In recent weeks, the Mexican currency has been moving in the opposite direction to Trump's poll numbers. As they have improved, the peso has dropped, hitting an all-time low against the dollar ahead of Monday night's debate.

Its sudden leap during the debate was a clear reaction to Trump's performance, according to Ihab Salib, head of international fixed income at Federated Investors. A CNN/ORC poll of debate watchers released after the event found 62% felt Clinton won compared with 27% for Trump.

Trump, however, told CNN that the debate "went better than I ever thought."

went better than I ever thought...

I see he had quite lower expectations.

Once underway, Twitter confirmed this was the most "tweeted" debate ever and among those watching and tweeting.

Soon enough, memes quickly developed: #sniffles and #trumpsniff.

Wondering if Trump was doing a bit of nose candy before the show...

Politico Magazine's team analyzed every statement made by both Trump and Clinton for five days and said "the conclusion is inescapable: Trump's mishandling of facts and propensity for exaggeration so greatly exceed Clinton's as to make the comparison almost ludicrous."

The words "almost ludicrous" ricocheted around Twitter.

Politico found that Trump averaged "one falsehood every three minutes and 15 seconds over nearly five hours of remarks" while Clinton averaged one falsehood every twelve minutes.

Overall, the news outlet counted 87 "misstatements, exaggerations, falsehoods" from Trump and eight from Clinton.

Trump's falsehoods fit a pattern: "Virtually all" of them "directly bolstered a powerful and self-aggrandizing narrative depicting him as a heroic savior for a nation menaced from every direction."

Donald Trump complained that his microphone wasn't working properly during the first presidential debate, questioning of whether he was intentionally given a "defective" device.

"My mic was defective within the room," Trump told reporters.

"I don't like this mic," he told that crowd. "Whoever the hell brought this mic system, don't pay this son of a b**** ... Don't pay him."

Did it also injected sniffing sounds into his conversation? Cold, allergies or cocaine...

Grades from the debate coach.

Todd Graham is the director of debate at Southern Illinois University.

His teams have won five national championships and advanced to the "final-four" of a national championship tournament nine consecutive years.

He's been recognized three times as the national debate coach of the year. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his.

Overall grades?

Clinton: B
Trump: F

Part here, link for the rest.

She didn't have many stumbles. She left a few things unanswered, such as Trump's claims that she was nasty toward President Barack Obama when she was running against him in 2008. But overall Trump left her substance mostly unchallenged.

In debate jargon, Trump had "claims without warrants." He offered no proof for many of his arguments and conclusions.

For nonverbal communication, Trump was awful. While Clinton was speaking, Trump scowled, frowned, gave the evil eye, sniffed and sighed. And this was on the very first question. After that, it was 90 minutes of "let's interrupt the woman on the stage." It was rude and annoying, and in this case it only added to the impression that Trump was sexist.
I've seen this too many times in debates, and the impression is lasting. Finally, there were only two of them on stage, and he still was compelled to interrupt and say "wrong ... wrong ... wrong" during her answers. He didn't care that he'd get his turn. Trump simply couldn't stand being criticized.
