At public events Pence gazes at Trump with a look of adoration that is so creepy that it almost warrants a restraining order. But I think that's just part of his game and that he feels no real loyalty to Trump at all. And he must certainly be aware of how Ford's pardon of Nixon likely cost Ford the 1976 election, so he won't pardon Trump if he thinks doing so might have the same effect on him.
