In Pence’s favor, he was very helpful in Trump winning Indiana. He had already committed to Cruz, but he came out with some really nice statements about Trump that I think help a lot at crunch time. That, and Bobby Knight made a big difference. And Indiana was crucial to the big roll that Trump went on after that to close it out. And after Trump had it locked up, Pence didn’t play that game with the delegates, he was all in. That gave Trump a lot of cred with heartland conservatives, and played a big role. So, Pence has been a part of this movement, and I would hate to think he would be so stupid as to be a traitor.
Has he thought about being President if Trump goes down? I am sure he has. Has he thought about helping that come about? I doubt it. But I don’t know the man or his heart, so it’s all based on impressions and what I’ve read.

Thanks. That harmonizes with my current thinking.
Pence is ambition personified—which perfectly explains both your description of him indeed trying to help win, as well as others’ notes of him being a slick GOPe pol—such as besties with Paul Ryan and Jeff Flake.
Not to be trusted IMO.
