Trump wants a yes man. Trump will easily bully him around.
Yeah, that's pretty right- But let's not overlook the good news:
*ALL* that Pence brings to the table are Conservative credz. He is recognized by TEA Party folks, and really, only TEA Party folks. Far less erudite than his fellows, too accommodating, but recognized nonetheless (or at least was recognized).
That looks to me like Trump is having to court Conservatives -The thing in his way, that he can't overcome IS Conservatives, and Pence is the same sort of 'unity' move that Palin was for McCain't...
Not that I think it will make any difference, but the bellwether is worth noting. Especially with all those TEA Party delegates arrayed against him in Cleveland. It tells me they have far more effective power than they are being given credit for.
