Lots of speculation regarding who wrote the anonymous Op-Ed but there's a really strong case for looking at Pence.
Pence may be a miserable sob but he p***es himself on being an honest Christian and a true conservative. Guess only time will tell but one thing's for sure. It wasn't a Democrat.

I was just speculating about that a few minutes ago. I had no idea others were speculating about the same thing.

Mike Pense is too craven and beholden to have the courage and strength of character to have written that. He may p***e himself as being an honest Christian and true conservative, but he is neither. He has shown us throughout his political career that the only thing he is honest and true to is his sleaze bag code - a willingness to violate the any and every standard and value he has conned the gullible throughout his political career into believing he possesses whenever he feels it would serve his personal interest or that of wh**ever power/gang he is beholden to in the moment.

Much more likely it was someone who puts country and t***h over power-seeking and self-interest. Likely also someone who is near the end of his/her political career and doesn't care that they are essentially sacrificing their political career, which they have to understand will be one of the outcomes of this act.

Dan Coats, 75 years old, Director of National Intelligence, comes to mind.

If he ever was, Pence is no longer honest or pure.
He sold his soul, and abandoned all personal integrity when he became a part of the administration of an indecent, immoral thug.

Indiana GOP to Trump: Take Mike Pence, please

By Eric Bradner and Tom LoBianco, CNN

Pence meets Trump's stated needs -- a veteran Washington insider who could shepherd Trump's agenda through Congress, where he rocketed to prominence as a member of the Republican leadership. He also fulfills desires from national GOP elites: unflappable message discipline and a bridge to social conservatives and top-dollar GOP donors.

It also makes for a good fit for Indiana Republicans, who are ready for Pence to go after a tumultuous first term in Indiana that has opened up a chance for Democrats to claim the governor's office. If that means sending Pence on the road with Trump, all the better.

Removing Pence from the governor's race, several senior Indiana Republican officials, aides and operatives said, would allow the state GOP to escape from the turmoil of years of social battles over same-sex marriage and religious freedom.

(Snip)

Pence, meanwhile, ]b\has had trouble in his four years in the governor's office -- struggling to grasp the reins of state government after spending 12 years as a congressman more often reacting to events than setting an agenda.[/b]

His travails were largely written off in his first full year in office because of a combination of learning curve and the incredibly high bar for performance set by predecessor Mitch Daniels, who had just wrapped an exhaustive eight-year tenure at the Statehouse with speculation that he'd run for president.

But 2015 proved to be disastrous for Pence politically, laying the groundwork for an opening for Democrats.

The first signs of trouble appeared when The Indianapolis Star scooped Pence on his own plans to launch a state-run news service. Pence's response, including allowing the debacle to overshadow his rollout of a state-crafted Medicaid expansion, foreshadowed the crippling fight he would face on "religious freedom" just a few months later.

Conservative lawmakers, not Pence, started the push for Indiana's "Religious Freedom Restoration Act," which ultimately proved deeply unpopular with the business community. But the blame fell on his own shoulders, in the wake of backlash from the likes of the NCAA and others.

And at the height of the battle, one of Pence's greatest political strengths -- his unerring ability to deliver the message he wants despite dogged questioning -- became a crippling weakness under the national media spotlight. In one memorable exchange, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos grilled him on national television, and Pence refused to answer direct questions about whether the law would discriminate against gay couples.

The damage to Pence's brand was deep: His support plummeted from 62% in February of 2015 to 45% and his disapproval rating rose to 46%, according to a poll conducted by Bellwether Research for Howey Politics Indiana.
