Trump is by all accounts an idiot but, he understands one thing very well, the desire for power. Pence essentially sold his soul in being Trump's side kick. But he did so strategically. Pence, like so many narcissistic politicians, believes he is "meant" to be president. He believes he can turn this country around and force his fundamentalist Christian ideology into law. Trump understands this and will use it to his advantage. It will be fun to watch. They are equals in their quest for power but, with Trump's base are predominantly evangelicals, Pence might just disrupt the apple cart enough to ensure both of these scumbag's defeat.

That’s spot on. I think most of evangelical radicals look at Trump as a useful idiot, merely a vehicle to be used in order to ultimately gain power and further their agenda. The real problem for these evangelicals is they are far more concerned with their own power than adhering to their religious beliefs (like a televangelist and $) and make a Faustian bargain to get what really drives them, power here in the real world. Their religious beliefs are really just window dressing. I totally understand Pence’s wife’s revulsion with Trump, that much is genuine. But in that marriage she knows her place.
