Because we don't have a monarchy despite what Obama has tried to make people believe. Our government has 3 branches. Pence would be a part of the executive branch and, frankly, the VP just doesn't have that much input that amounts to much.

No candidate or their VP is going to be perfect and Trump/Pence is the best overall choice. I find Hillary so repulsive on so many levels that I would never, ever vote for her. She has zero positives. So, easy choice, very easy choice.

Pence is the compromise hashed out between Trump and the GOP, akin to Bush1 and Reagan. I remember clearly Reagan's disgust with that party pick. Pence is the seed (possible future presidential candidate), planted by the GOP as an attempt to continue the same old BS both parties have been feeding the public since Bush1. The two parties run our so called democracy, not the people as far as I'm concerned.

If anything, Pence is being used to draw out the neocon vote. Not worried about his stupid ideas affecting Trump.

It's not a terrible idea. Pence is highly beneficial in the new south like in NC.

^^^^These two. Trump believes in nothing. He will be extremely susceptible to false flattery - I see Pence running the show behind the scenes ~ along the lines of Bush/Cheney.

Swap the name Trump for Clinton and it is equally true. That is the problem with this election as well as the previous 4.

The VP will have much more power than normal, according to Trump himself, as Trump sees himself as an outsider with zero knowledge of government.

He will be come November... You are going to be so happy when Trump is elected and puts America back on track.
First thing he will do is reverse every single thing obama had done. That alone will get America back on the right path to greatness..
Then he can go after felony clinton, and make sure she is prosecuted and buried deep in a federal prison. See how the country is improving already, and he is just getting started...
