In the wake of Monday night’s presidential debate, some analysts here were disappointed that Clinton did not do better. “Clinton wins the debate; the key question is if this first debate stops the momentum of Trump,” Arturo Sarukan, a former Mexican ambassador in Washington, said on Twitter. “Not yet I think.”Another former Mexican diplomat, Gabriel Guerra Castellanos, also noted that Clinton failed to achieve an overwhelming victory. During the debate, Trump repeated his charges that U.S. jobs were flowing to Mexico and that the North American Free Trade Agreement was a bust for the United States. Some analysts have seen Trump's recent rise in the polls as part of the reason behind the peso's recent decline.
