If the Resistance was confident and winning they wouldn’t be penning editorials for the NY Times. They’d keep their mouths shut and heads down as they toil away.

I think there is a good chance this op-ed was written by the NYTimes new "opinion" employee, Sarah Jeong.

That's actually kind of brilliant. I am expecting the NYT to fire her eventually. She's bad news, but they didn't want to admit it, so they held on to her during the recent trouble. But her time will come.

If she is behind this, it gives the NYT lots of instant publicity because of their "scoop", then an excuse to get rid of her when the "truth" is revealed, then a chance to look "principled" because they took out the trash.

What an insult to even suggest this.
Show me just ONE occasion where VP Pence has spoken less than favorably about Potus Trump.

Disgusting smears of a good man.

Exactly. It sells papers and keeps it in the news for another cycle. Now comes a day of talking-head segments on whether they think he’s telling the truth. After that, the next suspect will be named, and repeat.

I doubt it is Pence, but he has most to gain if Trump is gone.

Pence has to wait 6 years and 2 months to run for president. And he is not a youngster.

The article introduction said the writer was anonymous because of a fear of losing his position. The vice president of the United States cannot be fired.

I read the thing today. With its central emphasis on free trade and democracy along with copposing Russian "meddling" while praising the military buildup, it sounds like the work of a neocon international meddler globalist. It could have been written by the late John McCain.

Fiction was my first thought. It would be right in character for the likes of the NYT.

That goes for all Republicans in office. I plan on calling my senators and rep today to ask why they are not vociferously defending our president. Most of them are members of the same club, the Demopublicans.

For that matter, I may call Pence’s office and ask him why he isn’t more vocal in defending our president.

Mike Pence was born in 1959... next year he will be 60 ...do you consider that as OLD? just wondering.

He is far from being classified OLD in today’s Congress ages of leaders.

This has arisen because the supposed op-ed used the word “lodestar” which is fairly uncommon. Bloggers had found it recently used by the VP in a speech and speculate his speech writer is the culprit.

Pence is just getting out ahead of questions to him.

This is just ridiculous. So now fine honorable men like Mike Pence have to come out defending themselves from some made up piece in the. New York Slimes? How do we know The New York Slimes didn’t write it themselves? Their new editorial writer, the racist Sarah Jeong could very well have written it.
My own favorite for who wrote that article is the deranged ex CIA Director, John Brennan. It’s a classic CIA technique. It creates chaos in the “enemy”. camp, makes people suspicious of each other even while exposing the Trump admin to ridicule and delivering a kick to the Republicans in the mid terms.

Vice President Pence did not write this, and neither did any other senior staff member in the Trump White House. This whole thing is just a ruse to try to sow suspicion and cause disarray among the senior White House staff. They want everyone there to distrust everyone else in order to paralyze the Trump White House and sabotage the President’s agenda. No one from the White House should play into their hands by issuing denials. No one from the White House should even respond to this in any way.

I think it would be hilarious if President TRUMP wrote and leaked this to the Times. He did impersonate his own publicist once.

There are none.

Have you ever heard of "damning with faint praise"?

Trump is besieged by swamp creatures of both parties. They are playing a game that a billionaire businessman from New York knows little about.

At his side is VP Pence, to whom the deep recesses of the swamp and the day-to-day lives of the swamp creatures are well-known.

As such, "not speaking less than favorably" does not cut it with me.

The President of the Senate should be out there with a flamethrower defending The Boss.
