Boring choice
looks old for his age
not exciting speaker
not charismatic

Fauxcahontas is an attack dog, and so is Hellary he is a Maltese and they are Dobermans

VP needs to be the one to attack for the ticket, that lets Trump be Presidential and discuss policy

I am not sure Pence is tough or skilled enough to be a good verbal fighter. The Clintons are street fighter who get down and dirty.

Pence was a conservative radio all so host at one time.
He has the verbal chops.

I am not sure Pence is tough or skilled enough to be a good verbal fighter.

Besides having been a successful talk radio host, he has a congressman before being elected governor. He is actually conservative (despite imperfections, which we all have) and is actually well-qualified to be president. Choosing him is in and of itself a presidential move.

Some football teams throw the long ball, some do a lot of dink-and-dunk passing, some lean heavily on the running game. Trump is never going to be a policy wonk, discussing policy in detail, and is comfortable being the attack dog as needed. George W. Bush went with Cheney as the policy wonk, and it helped him win the election (that is NOT to compare Trump with George the Younger in any other way!).

Pence is a mature, good choice, and will solidify the support of conservative Republicans who fear that a President Trump might walk back certain positions.

That's nice - tell us what you consider to be Pence's weak points without telling us who you think has the toughness and verbal skills, and why they are a better all-around choice......

So many "expert pundits" and so few who concentrate on the important crap....

Thus the reason why this person needed a wall of text to try to make this seem” logical”.

[Pence] looks old for his age

Lincoln looked old for his age in 1860.

This will be a brutal year, and nice guys will have a problem. That's one thing I was sort of looking forward to about Newt. You're right about Trump not having to be the only one on the attack.

[Chgogal]

He handled that bakery thingie very badly. He is going to be chewed up by MSM.

[7garments]

Likewise disappointed. Pence is a dull speaker - no wit, ineffective attack dog, dim and hesitant.

Conservatives will like him for his positions, but he’ll do nothing to attract Bernie supporters and Reagan-type Democrats. For all his shortcomings, Flynn would have been the smarter choice. But some would rather sink the ship with single-issue politics than craft a winning strategy to undercut Hillary.

“...looks old for his age...”

I disagree and I a wife and mother in his age group so have a vaild peer opinion. He appears vigorous and has clearly not let himself go as many men in their mid to late fifties have.
