Maybe it was just a simple typo...

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

First you get rid of the VP then affirm a swamp creatures new VP then go after the President and install the new President. Same as last time.
“Lodestar” might be a western regional word if I remember correctly.
It was also a large airplane.
More likely an attempt to set-up VP Pence as the writer.
Remember, it IS the New York Slimes.
Fake news from HuffPo.
BS.
Lodestar is a guide star used by seafarers in navigation. Using that term in relation to McCain is nothing. The guy was in the navy... seafarers, get it?
Pence wouldn’t do something like this.
It’s probably the guy who puts the water bottles and name tags at the conference tables, who wants to be somebody.
Maybe it’s Vice President Pence’s speechwriter. Pence could be totally innocent and the words he uses in speeches are selected by his speechwriter and not by him. Probably there is a difference between Pence’s speeches and written articles, on the one hand, and his conversational language, on the other.
Dictated into Dragon software while he had a cold. Solved!

Bump
He should bar them permanently (or least until they provide fair coverage, which I expect will occur on the 31st of Never).
I smell a set-up. Speech analysis routines are widely available on the interwebs. Anyone looking for a unique speech pattern would've found the wprd "lodestar" as being uniquely used by VP Pence then penned an Op-ed using it to make it LOOK like he wrote it. It's not hard to do even for a casual person.
This is clearly a set-up to drive division within the core of the White House.
Sorry for typo’s. Typing one handed due to broken arm and wrist.
Not for nuthin’, but Pence is NOT what the Dems want. They think Trumps “amoral” attitude is bad? Pence is much more “right” than Trump ever was.
He’s not even on the bottom of the list.....
