POLITICAL ROUNDTABLE – As Trump continues to lead in the polls, his campaign is staffing up. Other 2016 candidates like Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are showing signs of post-debate mini-surges. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has confirmed she will turn over her private server to the Justice Department after months of resisting. The roundtable discusses all of this and more from the week in politics.
