Trump will have vetted Pence completely to his satisfaction.
He is TOTALLY aware of the importance of anti-globalism in trade, immigration, international agencies (WTO, UN, NATO etc.) and neocon interventionism.
There is no way he would have accepted Pence without assurances he will back Trump 100% on anti-TPP, building a wall, stopping Islamists from entering the country and all the other key TRUMP policies.
Politically, I see Pence as about where Cruz claims to be, but without the bizarre & lyin’ elements, and the feeling you might get stabbed in the back at any time. I think he should calm down some of the doubters that Trump is a real “Republican” or a real “Conservative.” That’s all.
We Trumpists have a right to be concerned; but I think everything will be okay. Remember, Trump does eventually need to get Congress behind him too, in order to get his programs enacted into law.
Great post.
