    Trump chose pence because he was repugnant enough to ward off assassination attempts before we knew how bad trump was. Why did he choose Vance?

      This line of thinking assumes Trump is capable of concocting elaborate schemes to hide his intentions. I don’t think he’s that intelligent and I don’t think he tries to hide his intentions at all. He’s exactly as dumb as he appears and his intentions are plain. His style only works because the people who support him are also idiots.
