Trump needs to shore up the evangelical base. Pense is also well liked among the GOP donor class.

He's incredibly anti-gay. In the end though it doesn't hurt Trump because he benefits more from Pence than not. LGBT majority was not voting Trump anyway. This shores up his evangelical base I guess (even though I figured he already had that shored up) I don't know. It was down to three White men. Not exactly a bold choice. Can't see Pence bringing much to the ticket honestly.

He's embracing the politics of contempt. It's kind of working.

Pence will have to withdraw from the Governors race to run. Pence has messed with Planned Parenthood, schools, the gay community...you name it and his religious fingers have ruined it. Maybe his wife will fall off the stage like she did at Butler U. just for laughs. The TV stations here have made fools of themselves falling all over Pence.
