He/she is a high-ranking republican starting the spin machine for the inevitable post-Trump era. If and when Trump gets the boot they can say "I, and such and such, were there the whole time saving the country from Trump's worst impulses. He's a Republican in name only, but we're the real deal. Trust us".

My betting money is on the VP, but it doesn't matter who wrote it. This narrative will be used to defend complicit Republicans in the event Trump goes down.
