Pence helped himself but it won't matter for this year: ........... A lot of Republicans, myself included, were left wondering during and after the debate, "Is there any way we can swap Mike Pence for Donald Trump as the candidate?" It's going to be the talk of the race (at least part of it) for the next couple of days. If there is one thing Trump hates, it's to feel as though he's not the most important person in the room. Combine that with so many voters last night thinking about what could have been if there was somebody with the temperament, knowledge and political skill of Mike Pence going up against Hillary Clinton. For whatever reason, I can envision Trump trying to tear down Pence is some way over the next week or so. It will be Trump's way of telling Pence he's still "the man." As for the race itself, this debate won't have an effect on the race. It never does. People do not vote for President based on who the vice presidential nominee is. When it comes down to the general election, people are going to consider Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Their running mate will not factor into that decision. So don't look for any poll shifts over the next few days based on this debate. Pence won the debate but is not likely to matter in the term scheme of things. redstate
