...out of shear desperation and knee jerk reaction not because anyone will be better/worse than Pence. The comments on Pence being a comfort to the hard core funders and the fundamentalist crowd are probably very true. But Trump could try to get more women on his side by pulling in Gov Noem of South Dakota or similar. It will look like a desperation move and I don't see there is anyone that would be willing to be VP that Trump could call on that would move the dial in his favor. Folks of real substance and respected like Colin Powell are long gone and out of reach.
