Lodestar is an unusual word often used by Mike Pence, meaning the North Star, the polestar, the point of guidance (see the Page at right Great Pyramid for Navigation), so if Pence is the phantom editorialist against Trump in the New York Times, he wants to be found-out, otherwise, he wouldn’t have dreamed of using that word. It’s easy to imagine the bitter establishmentarian Steve Schmidt having written the editorial, using that word as a clumsy attempt to frame Pence.
