First let me be clear, as if most of you on here don't know this already, I respect the Will of the American voters, as I do any free democracy and they have spoken loud and clear, and they want Donald J Trump to be president. They received their wish.
However, if Pence were president would Pence follow the same economic path Trump has taken, by renegotiating NAFTA, confronting trade abusers, remaining loyal to "America First", or would he be more of an Establish GOP?
My argument is that he would be forced to remain loyal to Trump in regards to the America First mantra with some level of patriotic populism. Not just because it is absolutely necessary to reign in those nations who are abusing America and American workers, which is a danger for the sustainability of the U.S going forward if not addressed. Also, if he doesn't remain loyal to those voters who took a change on Trump, the Democrats turn a hard left and regain back all the states that Trump flipped from the Democrats, especially the Rust Belt states and probably regain full control of government and fairly quickly.
Thoughts on how you all believe he would govern?
