No he won't. Trump is likely to get us into a nuclear war. Pence is a grifter. Demsrule86 Jan 2018 #24
He's just as guilty. Mc Mike Jan 2018 #28

Pence is just as implicated in the Russian connection. Nitram Jan 2018 #32
Pence is highly malevolent, but not outright stupid or insane - and he has no mass appeal dalton99a Jan 2018 #33
