Other than dignity, I think Pence has depth of character, experience and intelligence. He carries himself well and I think even though he has disagreed with Trump, re: NAFTA and Trump’s comments about the Judge, he was not disrespectful about it..they simply disagreed. What do you think about Trump choosing Pence?

What do you think about Trump choosing Pence?Honestly, I don't know. From my perspective, he came out of left field; this was not someone I'd even heard of prior to his name appearing on the prospective list. At this point, I haven't even heard him speak. I was hoping for Gingrich, so from that perspective I'm disappointed.
What I am reading is that he is someone recommended by Paul Manafort and was selected in part to alleviate concerns within the party about Trump's conservatism - to sooth some of the discord going into the convention.
If Trump wins, in theory this would be the person at the top of the ticket in 2024. He seems like a person that would be unlikely to rise to that spot on his own, but I guess you can say the same about Bush 1, Gerald Ford, and any other number of VPs that eventually went on to be President.
I hope he can hold his own in one of those non-debate debates that the media like to host. I don't want to see another Ryan vs. Biden debacle, where our team is playing by the Marquis de Queensbery rule book and the other side is in no-holds-barred mode. I hope he can kick the living heck out of whatever loon Hillary eventually picks. Beyond that, I don't think the VP pick is all that important.
