Yesterday, New York magazine published an extended look inside Donald Trump’s campaign. The writer, Gabriel Sherman, was given access to Trump, and he spoke to a number of current and former Trump staffers. The entire piece is worth a read, but a few segments stood out. First, Trump had the confidence to take on Fox News because he believes he has information that can “destroy” Roger Ailes......Trump may be a political outsider, but he’s also a consummate New York insider. How many of his GOP rivals had that kind of history with Fox?..... he and his core team are now exhausted, and they’re making mistakes.....the team is ill-equipped for the challenge of raising money for a national campaign.....Overall, the picture that emerges is of a campaign that rocketed to the top but is struggling to adjust as its strengths are now becoming weaknesses. The small staff that allowed for spontaneity and instant response is struggling with exhaustion and reaping the consequences of failing to build a national infrastructure. The provocative style that separated Trump from the pack is now driving his negatives into the stratosphere, and Trump is having trouble moderating his style because he is the man we’ve seen these last eight months. The strain is showing, and — for now, at least — he can’t seem to adjust.
