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.
I don’t have a strong opinion on Pence, but I do have one criticism of your theory.
*** They never thought she would lose. ***
So *IF* Pence was DS, he would have known that the fix was in and he would have been free to campaign hard, knowing that what he did would make no difference.
So whether or not he helped Trump does not influence my thinking on whether or not he is/was DS.
