Who would you prefer as president: Donald Trump or Mike Pence? | The Tylt

At this point, people think they know what to expect from Trump. Pence is more of an unknown factor. 

Pence has a clear conservative agenda, unlike Trump. While governor of Indiana, Pence signed a law that allowed residents to cite their religious beliefs in defense of discriminating against LGBTQ people and businesses. 

Trump's actions may be cartoonish, but he's doing real damage to society. The sooner he's out of office, the better. Pence, whether you like him or not, works well within the boundaries of acceptable political behavior. Trump does not. 

Vice President Mike Pence is solidly conservative and is much more level-headed than Trump. He'd be a return to normal conservative politics rather than Trump's approach.
