Trump asserted that he would handle attacks against his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and leave Pence out of them. He has chosen to let the platform go simply because it appeases the conservatives, and he knows that he’s not bound to that platform even though we put a lot of emphasis on “this is where the republican party is”, but it still comes down to what the party bearer is saying and doing. “We have to wipe out ISIS”, he said in response to a question.

The lack of chemistry between Pence and Trump was obvious that one wonders if they had ever really spoken to each other before Pence was added to the ticket.
