Fear and panic. Dave weigle is, of course, being sarcastic, but sarcasm and apparently a sense of reason or proportion, those things seem to have been lost on conspiracyobsessed conservatives who have turned this email into the watergate tapes.

In Single Digits. Let me bring in our politics executive editor mark preston with all the latest numbers from washington. Mark preston, so this is huge for carson. Is this a single outliar, part of a bigger trend, what say you . No doubt this is a big moment in the republican president ial campaign. This is the first time donald trump has not led in a poll since july. Now to the question is it an outliar, in many ways it is not. We have seen this trend over the past week or so in iowa where ben carson had been number two to donald trump. We have now seen several polls out of iowa that shows ben carson is is now number one and donald trump is in second place. If youre donald trump right now, its still early in the race. But you have to wonder why is he trending down while ben carson is trending up. Can we talk about this new ben carson ad, if you havent seen it . Here you go. Im bn ben. Im running for president.

Women, whether its whatever. And young trumps main argument for himself is you suck too . Part of the problem we have, theres these false equivalencies you guys do. Even on the tax stuff, youre saying, well, Hillary Clinton took some deductions, too. Hillary clinton pays 30 of her income in income taxes. Why is that enough . Trump pays zero. If she wants 65 , she wants 65 on the estate tax or she doesnt want estate tax. This is the point about false equivalency. You guys last night were pointing out, hillary took the same deduction, she took 3,000, that was it. Trump took 900 million. Its the principle of it we are just a few seconds away from the start of this Vice President ial debate. Lets go back to wolf. Wolf .
