Help carry Ohio? Perhaps, but IMHO Trump has got a lot of work to do to carry Michigan, it is winnable IMHO... He needs to start by visiting Wayne Assembly (look it up), possibly the tour guided by Bill Ford or Mark Fields and mend some bridges...
Quayle was an idiot. He had some dyslexia. He was in many ways over his head. I’m sorry, he was an embarrassment. Not to say that behind the scenes he wasn’t a good man, and didn’t get things done. He did.
Pence has a stronger temperament. Being Governor molds you in a different way than if you’re a Senator or Rep.
This is a good choice. ENergy. Newt was great at the same age, but lacks energy now, plus he’s got the tub.
Pence looks good next to Trump.
On the other side you have Hillary standing next to another loser.
Pence has far more political experience than Dan Quayle ever had or to this day possesses. I knew someone who attended a private meeting with Quayle in 1990 when he was GHW Bush’s VP. His comment afterward was that Quayle came across like a frat boy, not a leader. Bush did the man (or himself in the end) no favors in selecting Quayle at that age and stage in his political career. Pence would be a serious choice and would complement Trump very well.
Quayle...got elected
