Interesting that Pence has to get out of the Indiana gubernatorial race to run for VP. He will no longer be the top guber in Indiana. Instead, he will take a chance on being the top goober in the Senate. If he and Trump lose, he'll likely goob up Fox News.
 
Does anyone see the logic behind Trump picking Pence? Indiana is thoroughly red state - he didn't need Pence to win Indiana.

Pence seems much further right in ideology than Trump (although with Trump, who knows for sure). Was he hoping to appease Republican party hard-liners?

I wonder if the Republican party talked Trump into Pence with the idea that the first time Trump screws up in office, they'd turn on him and impeach putting Pence in the White House.

Hope that POS Chris Christie is as humiliated as he should be.
I would have thought Trump would have kept him around as the office whipping boy. Even though that story of him making Christie fetch him McDonalds is fake I get the feeling the relationship between them is not too far off.

The logic is that he is a "DC Outsider." At least that is what I read.

Some Republicans tried to distance themselves from Trump. Pence gives him a kind of legitimacy within the party establishment. Some will start coming back now. The question is, are there enough Trump/Pence supporters to overcome the Hillary Coronation Machine? Conversely, are there enough Democrats in Indiana to turn the state blue again now that Pence is out of the gubernatorial race? Lastly, is this all part of Trump's plan to swing the country progressive by exposing America's underbelly?
