What does matter is Conservatism, and Pence is 100 times the Conservative Tump is, and there ain't no denying that.
They don't want Conservatism.
They want an immoral street brawler that tickles their base instincts and will say or do whatever they think is necessary to punish and drive into fits, those they hate and despise.
They don't care what their actual fruits of character are. As long as they say what they want to hear, and they create illusions by the power of their breath and sleight-of-hand, they prefer the showman over substance.
That is where the 'Conservative movement' has arrived.
It's no longer 'Conservative'. It's populist. Even if the mechanics are Socialist or Fascist - they no longer care. They will label them Republican and 'good'. Such as trillion dollar deficit spending budgets and ObamaCare being renamed Trumplicare.
