Why did Trump choose Manafort as his Campaign Chair?

9. IMO, a couple of things

First, Pence has been the most stable, consistent and on task member of this administration by far.

Yes, he is a raging christiofacsist, but he is a 90s style GOPer, a disciplined, talking points machine. He is the only person who acts like he belongs in a Presidential administration.

Second, have you ever seen him look at 45? He looks at 45 like a girl looking at her first teenage crush, he looks like he loves him. And, he always has his back when he talks about him.

SO, functionally he has been the ideal pick for 45s VP, super loyal and one of the few who does not say or do stupid ass shit to cause any more drama.

Third - unlike most of 45s entourage, Pence is a known and trusted GOPer, so he was someone who helped to make it easier for the more traditional republican financeers to open their check book for 45s campaign.

All of that said - while he is one of the few without direct ties, he isn't some innocent babe in the woods with Russia. He is a GOP 100 percenter and clearly has no problem selling out to Russia to get the wet dream of a full on fundamentalist overtake of the country.
