Trump would not have a veep who he did not trust.

Reagan would not have a veep who he did not trust.

Bush, a liberal, was forced on Reagan at the convention. Trump chose Pence, a good conservative who was not a nevertrumper, to unite the party. Major difference. Trump trusted him. It is not certain that Pence can be trusted, but he has been tested a few times, and I have seen no reason to distrust him.

Is that rhetorical Bags? ‘Cause Reagan appears to have got the veep the deep state wanted him to have. Force of will and public adoration is probably what got him through it.
