I remember when the media went hard against Sarah Palin.
That is what I would like to know.

I might be wrong,but I think Pence is not as direct as Trump.

Pence uses code speech,so that the masses do not get it.

As far as I am concerned,Pence is worse than Ted Cruz.

I could see Pence actually undermining Trump,so he could get all the power himself.

I don't see Pence as being such a sinister and haphazardly impulsive figure as Trump. Trump worries me, less about his actual policies, than about his potential behavior - his impulsiveness, failure of self-control and vindictiveness. Even if I agreed with Trump on core policy ideas (which I don't), he worries me. With Pence, I do mostly disagree, but I'm not worried about having a petulant teenager with the nuclear codes.

To give an analogy, if Pence were my neighbor, he and I would not likely be frequently having dinner together, but I'd feel fine with going out of town, without worry that he'd torch my house, or spray it with gunfire, or drive his tractor through my living-room window. With Trump, I'd constantly be worried that he'd pull some stupid stunt.

They both are awful and I want nothing to do with either of them. Can't we fight to impeach Pence if he takes leadership?

Exactly what I've been saying. I don't know what possessed Trump to choose an extremist like Pence as VP. If he had chosen Kasich instead, I'd be much more at ease.

OP, Pence's policies are scarier than Trump's. Trump's temperament is scarier than Pence's. Pretty much a no-win scenario.
Yeah, he can be an arse, but at least he's not Hillary.
