The reasons were odd (to me, anyway) : she knew her husband was an alpha male, and needed to always be the alpha, so she felt that Pence was so beta that he would do. Ew.

I knew about Manafort and always wondered what the backstory to that was, but I guess this bastardized Game of Thrones has stories within stories.

If I didn’t know anything about Pence I’d take him at face value, because he looks so steady next to crazy Trump.

But Pence is the guy that let his own state have a big outbreak of AIDS while he was governor. He’s a theocrat who made his wife-to-be “repent” for having been married and divorced before him. He’s a theocrat who believes with all his heart that the US needs to be run on “Biblical law” —and that if anything happens to Trump, it will be God’s Will telling him to go for it.
