Pence is less of a human being and more an avatar of pure cynicism. Everything he says is calculated conservative fluff. He has no beliefs and he has no convictions. He exists purely as a human vessel for reactionary evangelicals to spread themselves.

He was only appointed the vice-president because republican leadership was afraid Trump would be alienating to elderly rich evangelicals who own things like all the aluminum in the state of Nebraska. Trump's vice president instead of Pence could have been a cardboard cutout with a sign reading, "Don't worry, Trump's annoying but he'll be a normal republican"
