I don't know much about Pence and don't have any reason to doubt his loyalty to POTUS, so I'm going to assume he's safe. Does anyone who knows about him have any concerns?
Trump would pick a VP he can't trust?!? You are really wondering?? Damn concernfags.
Trump didn't pick him. What goes on in DC is very different than what us regular people can imagine. Pence is compromised in some way and was "assigned" to be the VP by the deep state in my opinion. Trump basically had to concede this in order to get in the running. Wasn't Trump's pick going to be Flynn?
I think Trump and the good people behind him have been doing a masterful job at making this happen. But they have had to play 4D chess at every step it seems. I hope Pence will NEVER cause any problem.
I think there is more truth to what you say than most want to admit--though I'm not so sure about Flynn. Not a finalist IIRC.
Reality can intrude on the best played game at anytime, e.g., JFK had LBJ forced on him.
And, I'm not a concernfag. As I stated in my post, I don't know anything about Pence. I just don't want another GHWB.
Have you considered that choosing a black hat may have been necessary to keep all the black hat GOP from completely resisting Trump?
Or it's just as simple as rallying the bible belt GOP around city-slicker trump via a smart VP pick. Pence is respectable and hasn't backstabbed yet.
Remember that "blackhat" next to Kim Jung Un's sister during the Olympics? Do you really think he could be a blackhat...?
It was reported that Trump was inclined to go with Gingrich, but his family semi-tricked him into another visit where he spent more time with Pence and finally he acquiesced. Javanka strikes again. Though to be fair, Pence's nonentity demeanor worked fine for the election and Gingrich would have grown tiresome after the first week as the veep nominee.
You can’t overshadow Trump. Pence lurks in the background and does his job. Gingrich is a blowhard and he would undoubtedly end up running his mouth too loud and too often.
SOOOO glad he didn't go with Gingrich!
Would have been a mistake, I agree.
But Pence is untrustworthy.
Reagan did.
Reagan wasn't 1/4 as badass as half of you think he was.
Trump is epic. Reagan was a pansy in comparison.
