The New York Times’ scathing anti-Donald Trump op-ed, which the paper attributed to “a senior official in the Trump administration,” has inspired a parlor game among people trying to figure out the author’s name.
Some online commentators are leaning toward Vice President Mike Pence based on just one word in the piece.
The unidentified author singles out the late Arizona Sen. John McCain as “a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue.”
The word ― which Merriam-Webster defines as either “a star that leads or guides” or a person who “serves as an inspiration, model, or guide” ― isn’t that commonly used. But Pence apparently says it a lot, according to this mash-up posted on Twitter

Lodestar?
More like another pantload from the failing NYT.
NYT to HP, new meme. Watch it spread. Might be someone one on Pence’s team or nobody at all.
I think he could bar the New York Times from his press conferences until they tell him who the snitch was.
Wait for it. A few weeks more and the rats will be swept out.
Why would anyone believe anything printed in the Times??
How stupid could the be??
What if the author meant loadster as in someone who always walks around with a load in their Huggies all of the time? Just sayin’...
The preposterous “Times Op-Ed” was also timed precisely to allow the press to ignore the crimes of Bruce Ohr and his whohr....
Obviously the author of the Times piece is actually fiction writer Bob Woodward.
Nice try Bob??
Not a chance. MSM Trying to smear Pence.
Leftists can’t understand a guy like Pence. If he disagreed with Trump, he would say so to Trump, or resign, rather than engage in destructive and self-aggrandizing politics.
Just more Manufactured NYSlimes BS™
“A man who does not ever allow himself to be alone with a woman other than his wife does not have the type of character that would write an anonymous op-ed dissing his chief.”
Of course he does, IF he is convinced he is on the side of the Angels and has a whiff of ambition. HE is the reason that Flynn was fired. I don’t know if he, or maybe his speechwriter, or someone else did it, but I have a low level of trust for him.
Actually, Mueller dictated it to his very, very close and intimate friend, James [Jasmine] Comey, whilst taking a long hot shower in the wee hours of the morning.
Trump has needed help - lots of it - with Capitol Hill inside baseball, and I am not convinced that Mike Pence has been as helpful as he should have been.
Same playbook as getting rid of Nixon. First get rid of Agnew.
The country ended up with the very first un-elected president in its history.
It’s fake. There is no anonymous senior official.
30 Aug: SBS: AAP: Hockey says ‘formidable’ Trump will be re-elected
Australia’s ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, says Donald Trump is one of the most formidable politicians he’s seen in his life and is backing him for re-election.
Australia’s ambassador to the United States says Trump is authentic, not as aggressive in person as he is on Twitter, and is underestimated by many people.
“He is one of the most formidable politicians I’ve ever seen in my life,” he told Sydney’s 2GB radio...
The former Liberal treasurer felt there was a lot of momentum behind him in the US, and lauded him for fulfilling his promises to cut taxes, boosting the American economy, tearing up the Trans-Pacific Partnership, pulling out of the Paris climate agreement and moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
“When is the last time you had a president like that?
“If I was a betting man I would say you would bet that he’d be re-elected.”...

Penceseems unlikely to me.
Kellyanne?
The Ny Slimes et al is a part of a regime that LIED to a FISA court to get a warrant to spy on Trump.
Isn’t that all we need to know? Of course the paper will lie to the public about anything.
Ah, and another henchman of the left chimes in to add a bit more divisiveness and dissention to the picture by suggesting that the president’s own hand-picked second in command is out to do him in - murkier and murkier....
They are trying, on multiple fronts, to drive Trump mad. Mostly via gaslighting. It is insidious, and I, for one, am close to ready to start taking some of these a$$holes out.
