I liked Pence at first, but the more I see him the less comfortable I am with him. I think he's an ambitious panderer, who has made his place by toadying up to power. He completely countermanded what Trump has said regarding the EU and he was quick, once again, to bash Flynn—why? I don't buy the good cop bad cop role here, as I don't think Pence is smart enough for that role.
I too thought Pence was a good choice but in one interview after another after he was selected, he emphasized how humbled he was to be selected. Multiple humbles in multiple interviews, to the point where I wanted to throw up.
He appeared to be like a liberal trying to show his vulnerable side. I trust him as much as I trust Pelosi.
