It has been dubbed the political battle of the century.
And early indications suggest that as many as 100 million Americans tuned in last night to watch Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go head-to-head in the first of three planned presidential debates before November's fateful vote.
Right now, both sides are still arguing over which candidate scored the biggest points from the face-off - Trump started well - despite, or maybe because of
some mysterious sniffles - but Hillary took command of the debate half-way through and Trump never regained his footing.

Trump's temperament came under scrutiny - not helped by him becoming temperamental while he argued that he has the better temperament to be president:
