My sense is that Pence was chosen for him by the Koch machine, and their wholly-owned subsidiary the Republican Party, to be the nation's CEO while Trump has his antic fits. For Pence to be the much-worse alternative to Trump, you would have to credit Trump with being something more than mass-of-personality-disorders-in-chief. He may be Trump's Cheney, and a Christian Dominionist theocon, but it wasn't being crazy that got him his job.

True. I didn't mean "worse" as in "crazier" but as in actually worse.
