Pence serves two functions on the ticket: (1) he's red meat for the old-time, American religious base that used to be part and parcel of the GOP's previously dependable voting bloc that could not bring their holier-than-thou selves to vote for Trump; and (2) he brings a dose of <GAG> stability <GAG> to the Trump ticket.
