Would take it from him.

I'm staggered at the thought.

And the things that would bother him most would involve women.

It would be fuckery. A deception. And the NYT publishers would not do it.

He seems like the type, and he has all the motive in the world.

sounds like a military/national security guy

Keith Kellogg is Pence's highest national security adviser.

All the talking heads are emphasizing that the NYT wouldn't have accepted an anonymous editorial unless the writer was a very high-level official (they know who he is, obviously).

So the NYT knows who Anonymous is?

who he was. They have their own reputation to protect and they wouldn't have published an anonymous piece by someone claiming to be a WH official unless they knew for sure who it was.

Makes complete sense. I just wanted to clarify my understanding of the op-ed process

This piece sounds like it's someone who's involved regularly in high-level policy decisions of the sort that vice-presidents don't usually get involved in. And Pence would probably include some kind of reference, even if veiled, to religion or God or social conservatism (he can't help himself).

that's your reference

That's the way religious nuts look at anything they don't agree with. "Amorality" is too objective.

In any event, most people don't know what their own tells are.

They would love to plug Pence in and ditch the crime boss-in-charge I bet.

That way Kavanaugh and Pope Pence could really get the ball rolling on the Holy Amerikkkan Empire.

The WH reporter on the live shot blinked and swallowed when he said it.

Trump has his pink panther birther squad interrogating the denizens in the White House, watch out VP personal lol

trump will not like this

It’s hard to wait.

...into things they write, in order to hide identity.

I mentioned that in another post somewhere. I can't recall who it was that said they do that, but Bannon comes to mind.

and all chances at being elected in 2020.

Pence is too much of a coward. kellyanne is proven to be a slick liar and you can bet she lies to Trump too...her tell-all payday is down the road a little ways yet...

Unless he's covering his butt by claiming he would be fired... Until they come forward we won't know for sure. Perhaps a mid level staffer whose name we don't know. If it is one of the "big guys" my vote would be Mattis, Coats or Pompeo. Dark Horse would be Boulton... Now doing this anonymously is chicken shit IMO unless it is priming the pump with the public for the hatchet coming down on Trump in the immediate future. A way to soften the blow with his supporters....

McConnell's wife Elaine to give her hubby cover.

but I DO think it's someone who might want to run for the presidency him/herself. I just read the article and find it offensive. Especially the idea that there are "unsung heroes" running around the WH "undoing" or undermining the acts of 45. HEROES??? I think there is enough obsequiesness to the party and to others in the party that this writer is not as high level as we might be thinking, and also that he/she is highly ambitious. No idea who that is.

the naysayers who want to hold on to trump because "pence is worse" would be silenced, and we could finally move forward in cleaning this disgusting GOP mess up.

Why shouldn't Dems play some mind games with Trump?
