As a member of congress Pence was no threat to the DS. He was merely a vote. Now VP Pence is the swing vote and # 2 in line for the Presidency.
I believe POTUS is keeping him at arm’s length in round one, first term, and will bring him to the front in round two, second term if he is the man to lead the nation into the future after the plan has drained the swamp!
In the old west a town needed a gunslinger to bring peace, law and order to chaos. After that they needed a more statesman Marshall.
If the swamp is not drained sufficiently in eight years of POTUS then a Pompeo may have to be next.
Trust the Plan, MAGA!
You may be right, Billyv.
IMO, he comes off as a “squish” at a critical point when our nation would still need to have someone with a steel spine to withstand global efforts to “regroup” and attack.
Additionally, he comes off as so profoundly boring that I suspect the People, who need to remain “ever vigilant”, would go back to sleep, (as is their natural inclination, lol).

In TV and the movies!
Historical reality says a lot different! Frontier violence is heavily overstated by the entertainment industry. From Plymouth to Jamestown to San Francisco people brought in government they were familiar with to enforce the law very quickly. Present day Chicago, Detroit and other Rat run paradises are far more violent then the average frontier settlement.
