Brakes...So close to being finished!!!

Well, here's the seemingly final issue with the brakes.
On a prior attempt to push sludge out of a right front brake hose, the left front brake cylinder ripped apart a large 8 inch c-clamp. So I know there's good pressure. It also took a massive amount of calf-strength to do. That hose has since been replaced.
Now, all the brakes have been bled, and the brakes clamp very tightly with the brake pedal completely pressed down. But that's just the thing. The brake pedal is really easy to push down, as if there is a lot of air left in the lines. But all four brakes have been totally bled!! There are no leaks of air or fluid, either.
My diagnosis has been the brake master cylinder. Could the rubber be shot, and holding air? Wouldn't that be a joy..
