Mike Pence hasn’t been the most relevant, news-making vice presidential nominee ever, but this should make you sit up and take notice of just who Donald Trump chose. Because Pence has a role model for the vice presidency:
“I frankly hold Dick Cheney in really high regard in his role as vice president and as an American,” Pence said on ABC’s "This Week."
Pence said that, like Cheney, he hoped to be “a very active vice president.”
And since Trump wants to be a very inactive president who turns over all the work to his vice president, Baby Dick here could get his chance. If that doesn’t make Pence feel relevant in a very scary way, then nothing will.
