I recommend the Times piece - -
- - because it pulls back the curtain a bit on the GOP's self-inflicted failure to cope with Donald Trump ascension.
Regardless of whether Trump wins or loses the Presidency, Ryan has leadership troubles ahead with House Republicans and its Trumpian Freedom Caucus.
Also not coming out of the Times piece without a smudge or two is GOP chairman Reince Priebus.
Wisconsin readers will find the story especially interesting because it includes a denial that Priebus had been crying over the party's Trump FUBAR - - though credit the Times for asking - - and that the source for the 'in tears' anecdote was Charlie Sykes:

Mr. Sykes let Mr. Priebus know via text that Mr. Trump was no longer welcome in Wisconsin. Mr. Sykes said Mr. Priebus responded: “I am the guy trying to fix this! I am in tears over this.’” (A spokeswoman for Mr. Priebus acknowledged that he was upset, but denied any tears.)The piece also identifies Sykes as a former talk show host, but isn't his departure in December?
