Overall: Article passes core requirements except for hook. The hook, though interesting, is not contained in a single sentence or adjacent sentences followed by a cite. Also, I did a slight copy edit on the article proper, but it could use more editing. For instance, "he found the Democratic Party to be a bit fit to his ideology" makes no sense, and should be corrected. Tidy this up a bit, deal with the hook problem, and DYK will gain an interesting article.Georgejdorner (talk) 01:52, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the review! I hadn't got to the copyedit stage yet at the time of the nomination, but now have given it a good copyedit. (It is hard to see ones own errors, so outside input on such matters is always appreciated.) I also added direct citations to the two halves of the DYK hook (there is no requirement it be contained in a single article sentence). Let me know if anything else is needed. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I have marked it good to go. I might mention that I slightly relocated your cite to include the parenthesized explanation of the shorter newspaper name as given in the hook. That's a bit of precaution to keep someone from nitpicking, and holding up the nomination further down the line. Thanks for the article. Anything about The Trick attracts my attention.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:44, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
