Trump needed a contrast. Pence is a stolid Midwestern conservative, very laid-back, and does not seem to need to prove himself.
If he wasnt picked, Mike would NEVER make statements Christie made....about "coming in second" stuff.
I like thinking about bombastic, boisterous Donald surrounded by beautiful women....cause you just know married Mike probably never looked at another woman salaciously in his whole life.
remember what Kissinger said about women and power....
