And the religious right.

It hurts with most everyone else.

It depends who votes.

It will help get conservatives to the polls, but it's going to kill his chances with most indies and any lefties who were thinking of crossing over. It was a bad move from his point of view. If he had picked a social moderate/liberal, he would have had a much better chance.

He needed somebody to appeal women and minorities. Another old white guy isn't gonna get that done.

None of which trump currently polls all that well with. Pence is also Catholic, that may or may not help there
