You trusted Agnew and Cheney more than Pence?
Yup. They didn't look at the us as a theocracy to be taken over by a New Age Religious cult developed in the 1970's. Any Veep who seeks to overthrow my democracy is the biggest threat we have.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/1/2/1615825/-Mike-Pence-Is-A-Theocrat-His-Christian-Supremacist-Followers-Seek-To-Take-Over-America-SeriouslyDespite all the hand wringing and hysteria about the upcoming "presidency" of Donald Trump, the plain truth is that the Trump campaign stated in no uncertain terms that Vice President Mike Pence will in fact be in charge of "foreign and domestic affairs." What will that look like? Again, plainly, Mike Pence is not only the de facto leader of the Republican party, which is no longer the party of conservatism but is now the party of nationalism; but more importantly Mike Pence is at the head of another, far more dangerous Republican group, the "Christian Supremacists;" who are committed to taking over the government of the United States of America. Preposterous, you say? Please read further.
Mike Pence found religion at approximately the same time that he found a way to succeed in politics. When asked about his religious conversion, Pence has stated that listening to a Christian music festival in college called him to Jesus. However, Pence's appearance on the airwaves and his appearance at Grace Evangelical Church in Indianapolis both took place in the late eighties, early nineties, perhaps coincidentally.
Pence's start in radio came when he lost a second Congressional race in 1988 and was commiserating in his law office when he got a call from a Rushville, Indiana woman, Sharon Disinger, who made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Disinger wanted Pence to host a talk show on her small radio station in Rush County. Disinger told Pence that his hero, Ronald Reagan got his start in radio; and it goes without saying that Pence had other heros, notably Rush Limbaugh, whose fame on the airwaves Pence openly aspired to.

Pence's primary hero, however, was evangelist James Dobson. Dobson invited Pence on his radio show on October 5, 2016 and Pence proclaimed that being interviewed by Dobson was, "the greatest honor of my entire life." Dobson is virulently anti-gay as is Pence. Dobson is the founder of two anti-gay organizations, Focus On The Family and the Family Research Council and through those two groups Dobson proselytizes anti-gay hate doctrines thinly veiled with evangelical and pro-family language. Dobson blamed the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary on same-sex marriage, and has also gone on record as stating that same-sex marriage could lead the U.S. into another civil war. Dobson's political awareness is as astute as Ben Carson's, if even.
