You make some very good points. I had heard of Pence and have always liked him. To me, the VP choice is very important from the perspective..he is next in line to be president if Trump could not serve out his term for whatever reason...and re: your comment: whatever loon Hillary will choose...made me laugh..thank you for that. And for sharing your opinion.
I almost forgot to mention: There are several reports of Pence expressing his belief that Trump was an unacceptable candidate. So it’s very strange to then see him show up as Trump’s VP pick.
