Philip Bump on Ben Carson's rough 72 hours.
[The] scrutiny phase is in full swing. There was the pyramids thing and questions about his allegedly violent youth. But on Friday morning, a big one from Politico: Carson admits he made up a part of his biography about having been selected to attend West Point -- something Carson defended as recently as August. So of course, the mind of the pundit (such as it is) moves one step further down the line. If Carson's poll numbers enter the "decline" phase, where does that support go? We actually have data to answer that question from this week. Fox News, in its most recent national poll, asked Republican voters about their first and second choices to win the nomination. For Carson voters, most of their support moved to Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
