If Pence drops out, that would create a major anti-Trump resurgence. In other words, he would help Hillary.
Will he actually do that?
I have to assume that Trump chose his running mate carefully.
I hope that this is just a way to build up ratings for this debate. That would mean that Trump plans to win it and is confident that he will.
“I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them.”
No one on the face of the earth would say they condone the remarks.
I doubt that Pence would drop out because I think he’d be looking at Trump’s objectives for the country versus Hillary’s. Also what would be the best move for his own future.
