Trump is not a "true believe". His evangelical supporters know this well. Pence is there to keep the evangelicals in line. Pence is a "true believer". The anti-transgender stuff from Trump is all Pence. The abortion policies, all Pence. Anything Trump promotes that is for his evangelical supporters--that's Pence. Im assuming you know of Pence's history in Indiana--he was this country's last hurrah of State governments attempting to make discrimination against gay people legal under the banner of religious liberty. Betsy DeVoss--that's a Pence inspired selection. Pence's fingerprints are all over Trump's government appointments. There were some notable Trumpy appointments (Tillerson, Haley, Carson), but anything neocon or traditional GOP is all Pence.
