Trump picked him because he will add some balance to his own style and broaden the base - even though they disagree with some things (Reagan said it would be nice if a running mate agreed 100% but that a person who agreed 70% of the time was your friend) and Pence doesn't slap the conservatives in the face - Cruz endorsed Pence.
Pence should be win win win for Trump's team.
I agree. He adds so much to the election. I am not surprised Cruz endorsed him. After all, Pence endorsed Cruz. I think Trump made an excellent choice. I am not a Gingrich fan and even though I like Christie, I did not see him as a VP candidate...but then again..what do I know?
