I dismissed the thought of him having much success if he runs, but the more I think about it the scarier a Pence run would be for Trump. Yes, he's hated by the MAGA crowd and he isn't pulling them, but he could pull enough support to make if really difficult for Trump and if he ran a pull no punches campaign he could be the guy that makes Trump as unelectable as he possibly could be considering he's always going to have his base.
