text: “With his own brand of reserved dignity, Mike Pence instilled confidence on the state level then, and on the world stage now."
  
  Translation: "Pence may be uninspired, but at least he's not a raving lunatic like his boss. So I suppose we can let him talk a few minutes without dozing off, and then keep a straight face long enough to hand him a meaningless piece of paper, and call it a day."
