Nothing to do with being an Indiana farm boy, but more from swimming in a shallower part of the gene pool.
To put it bluntly, I think VEEP is just not very bright as compared with POTUS, Pompeo, Mnuchin, Bolton, Sarah Sanders, Kelleyanne Conway, the generals, and doubtless others ... a VERY, VERY BRIGHT TEAM.
Pence is playing in the 2nd division when it comes to smarts, along with Rick Perry and Betsy DeVos. He is a good man and a man of integrity and honor; but, I do not see him as the standard bearer for MAGA after Trump's second term. I think he has the courage and the heart--and yes, the ambition--but not the vision to lead this historic movement.
I'm asking a lot, I know. George Washington was followed by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison -- a run of 28 years of geniuses. I am hoping President Trump stands at the head of a similar line.
I can't say that I disagree with you at all. I think Mike is a loyal guy and follows orders well. I believe they brought him on board because he knows how the dirty Congress runs. He knows things. I don't see him as DJT's heir. At this point I don't see who could possibly follow POTUS. If he is not successful, it may not matter. I am not being dramatic.
