However, Pence would probably unleash an all-out assault on the LGBT community. Trump is basically doing what he needs to in order to keep the evangelicals happy but that issue isn't at the top of his agenda. For Pence it would be.

I doubt that the Koch Bros., who are Pence's puppet-masters, would see a nuclear attack as being good for their businesses. They are said not to have any religious motives, but may be willing to exploit Pence's fundamentalist ideology, to serve their interests. Any otherwise conservative voters, who are turned-off by Trump's behavior, might be brought into the fold, by Pence.
But getting a simpleton like Pence re-elected, may be a major challenge, even if they spend many billions of their fortune on it. I see them abandoning Pence in 2020, in a desperate attempt to save the Republican party from going down. They'll probably regard him as just a place-holder, until then. It's impossible to know now, who they might back for the nomination. But that election may be the last time the people of this country have, to escape from the grip they are trying to strengthen around our necks.
