Pence's problem is that he's a long-time GOP establishment politician -- which is the type of Republican leader who has pretty much worn out his welcome here on Free Republic.

I'm fine with him as the V.P. In fact, he may be a perfect counterpart to a character like Donald Trump!

If nothing else, Pence showed he is not only an excellent debater, but like Dick Cheney, his ultra-calm demeanor keeps the temperature in the VP debate at a very low level making him and by extension his boss, look serious and presidential. That was certainly an asset in 2004 when John Boy Edwards was going to come in guns ablazing only to be completely disarmed by Cheney and will be again in 2020 by Pence against whatever attack dog VP the RATS have.
