| "In 2016, Trump selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a favorite of the Religious right, in an effort to shore up his standing with Christian evangelicals, who have since become among his most loyal devotees." | Positive | 60% Conservative |

Contributing sentiments towards policy:
80% : In 2016, Trump selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a favorite of the Religious right, in an effort to shore up his standing with Christian evangelicals, who have since become among his most loyal devotees.73% : Because Trump seemed perfectly fine with the Jan. 6 mob lynching his vice president?
63% : Trump loves suspense and thrives on pseudo-drama, so you can be sure the vetting process will involve plenty of public auditioning -- which is to say bowing and scraping -- and a running Trump commentary right up until he makes his selection, probably close to the July 15 start of the Republican National Convention.
47% : With 100% name recognition, it's not as though Trump needs a running mate to vouch for him in particular parts of the country, the way the selection in 1960 of Texas' Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson is believed to have boosted New England's John F. Kennedy across the South.
31% : Trump has shown close to zero interest in growing support beyond his unshakably loyal base, so balancing the ticket with someone perceived as more moderate may be another convention he throws out the window.
28% : And Trump probably doesn't either.
28% : Trump, who turns 78 in June, was one of the most flawed.
16% : And that seems like the kamikaze role Kennedy could play in November, plunging to defeat and taking either Biden or Trump along with him.
