I’ll say Trump was smart enough to pick a veep who helped to make him president.
I don’t think there is any more credit than that to be given.
True that.
I was not concerned with credit. Trump’s win was more than well deserved imho. I am just concerned about the downside risks. Did JFK consider the downside risks when he chose lbj? (If so, apparently not enough.)
Pence is an honorable man. He’s just not of Trump’s temperament and style. He’s stood with Trump,.. defended him.. he’s more mild and been in politics long enough to learn to talk and not get into any more trouble than possible ... that doesn’t mean he is not with Trump all the way. I can see he admires Trump, and there are times when it wasn’t all that easy to defend him.. but he did. and did it well!
Pence has attained a lawyer due to the fact he knows he is going to be tested also... and it’s wise to have counsel ready. The dirt has gotten dirtier and it’s not been an easy road for them.
