“At the center is Ken Martin, the 53-year-old party chairman, who has found himself increasingly isolated, gripped by the fear that he will lose his job and relying on a vanishingly small circle of people he trusts…”

“Mr. Trump controls a $400 million super PAC, and the Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. Mr. Martin’s D.N.C. is $2 million in debt.”

@nprofile1q... When I was a working journalist, I used to at least scan about ten news sources a day. The Post was always one of them.

I can’t break the habit completely (although I’m down to about five per day) and the Post still does some great work, but on the whole it’s sinking. The editorials and op-eds are way below the paper’s past standards. The headlines are often weak.

I knew Ben Bradlee slightly and sometimes wonder what he’d think of his Post today.
