Pence has used the unusual term multiple times in speeches

What's in it for anyone of consequence to be squealing to the NYT?

But why would the NY Times publish a mid level staffer's anonymous op-ed? And how much power does a mid-level staffer, that their "resistance" would be meaningful? It has to be someone very high.

Historic moment, far more important than the daily Democrat whining and exaggerating.

I REALLY hope many Fox News hosts run with this. Most Trump voters don’t read the NYT and just watch FN. The conservative media badly needs to separate Trump from traditional conservatism. This is THE golden opportunity.

Surely you jest. Fox will be talking about Nike and Kapernick or the murder rate in Chicago.

How many people at the NYTimes know who this is, would you guess?

The NY times says "high level" when introducing the piece.

+1 The failing NYT is not gonna give this platform to anybody who is not at the uppermost level of the administration.

Tweet from Nate silver:

"Yeah, this is probably right. Actuarially speaking, there are lot more nobodies than somebodies.

Also, people who are like "the NYT would NEVER publish it unless it's someone BIG" should remember that this is the NYT op-ed page, which has much laxer standards than the newsroom."

Thoughts?

If it is him, I question his motives in writing this oped

Sorry, should have noted silver was responding to the following tweet:

I think the odds a cabinet-level official wrote the op-ed are pretty slim, and the likelihood Pence wrote it are basically zero.

On sheer numbers alone, there are just too many deputy assistant secretaries who are plausible candidates and could be described as senior officials.

I'll bet his weave blew off his head like a NYC manhole cover.

LOL! Would not want to be in his vicinity at the moment.

I think it's a GOP dirty trickster, so they can all yell "fake news" at the Times.
