night, but he did also say he would have an easy time beating her in the general election. so far this donald trump is not one we have seen on the campaign trail. he's going to be in virginia tonight. whether or not he maintains this tact of a softer spoken, less aggressive donald trump we'll have to see, i can't tell you, one day you get one donald trump and then you get another and it will be interesting to see if this is a new version of himself and whether he'd trying to broaden his base of support by quitting with the aggressive attacks and trying to be somebody that's more of a unifier as he's calling himself. we'll have all of that coming up on "nightly news" tonight including what he said about ben carson who is catching up with him in the polls as well as hillary clinton and whether or not he would do anything differently if he had the chance. back to you. >> let's listen to what he said when he said he would do things differently and this is not something that we think of donald trump doing as being

introspe introspective. >> i can watch my words a little bit and be politically correct and one of the reasons i am doing well, being politically correct takes a lot of time. it takes a lot of effort. we don't have time in this country. our country is really in trouble and that's why my new book coming out in three weeks will be discussing it. we don't have time to always be politically correct, and i can be more politically correct than anybody that you've ever interviewed, but it takes a lot of time to do it and you're going around in different circles and you're never getting there. we don't have time for it anymore, katy. >> when you interviewed donald trump -- go ahead. >> new donald trump and old donald trump in the same sound bite. at one point she was saying he' do things differently, followed up with i have a new book coming out and if i were pc i would be the best pc person you've ever seen which is just -- it's an

incredible mix that he's able to come out with just in a six-sentence span. >> i remember seeing your interview with him earlier this summer and he was quite combative and you really had to wrangle him. is he any nicer to reporters when they ask tough questions? >> listen, the story isn't necessarily about me, but he certainly was nicer, i guess, you can say. he's become more of a politician, as we've seen. he still hits the media very hard and every single one of his rallies he calls out the media and even names some of us and has the crowd turn around and boo. he's definitely riling the crowd up against the media. we get a few harassing karics, and in terms of this interview it was not as combative as it was before. we've been on the campaign trail with each other now and he's been on the campaign trail for 118 days and i've been on the campaign trail with him for 111 days and he knows me by name and

he knows the other reporters by name, as well. there is definitely a rapport there that wasn't there when we first started. >> you're holding up well, thank you, katy. >> by the looks of it. >> exactly. >> you can see the interview with donald trump on "nightly news" tonight on nbc at 7:00. some of the hottest social media reaction during the debate was tweeted by one of the candidates for the republican nomination, not trump, mike huckabee tweeted he trusted democratic candidate bernie sanders with his tax dollars like he trusts a north korean chef with his dogs. well, reaction was swift. one woman tweeted the remark is beneath someone who is a christian pastor. racism exists because we have a governor like mike huckabee who jokes about koreans eating dogs. a short time later mike huckabee re-tweeted that poor liberals think it's racist to deplore a

brutal dictatorship. wendy? >> all righty. well, we have some canadian air starting to drift down into the lower 48. it will make a difference. >> it will make a difference and that's what the second front at the end of the week and the coldest air of the season, folks are going to notice it and it's one thing when you talk about it and show the numbers and it's another thing when the cold wave starts going in. let me show you what's coming in. the colder bars in the middle part of the week. and in terms of what we're going to see as we move forward in december, january and february. the climate prediction center, they've put out their forecast and what we can expect for these month, the winter months and near-average temperatures looks for what they're calling for in most of our area and that puts us in the 40s and folks are saying, will we get the snow? that is the big question right now. they're calling for above-average precipitation and

by that i mean a mixture of both rain and snow and it depends on how much cold air we get and we get the active part of the storms meeting up with that cold right now and just, above average and it could mean we are on the line with a lot of these systems and we get the cold rain and the icy situation. >> there is another forecast from noaa coming out and we'll have that for you. 68 degrees and the wind settled and we drop down into the 50s by 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. and we lose the win because the wind blowing around the ragweed and also still running high. first thing tomorrow, jackets, and 45 around reston falls church and that means first thing out the door tomorrow morning and not only a jacket, but you might have to go for a long sweater, as well and long pants, too, and some of you are going to hold on to the short

pants as long as possible. we hit the 60-degree mark by lunchtime tomorrow. as far as friday goes, we get the cloud cover and not much in the way of any rain. very light showers and you can see it around fredericksburg and around stafford during the afternoon hours and with it more sunshine to follow and with those low temperatures at night and you have the fall color peaking in northwestern, maryland. >> and getting out and not just doing things around the house and maybe painting and wait until the afternoon when we get the warmer temperatures and get weather for decorating and it's all about the weekend and just how low those temperatures will be by early sunday morning, look at this. 36 leesburg and 36 in areas like fredericksburg, 35 up to the north around frederick, maryland and not only sunday morning, but monday morning and possibly tuesday morning, as well and it will feel a lot like november coming up, sunday, monday, tuesday of next week and a dry
