Plus they's get Pence into the WH, which removes any wild card from the equation and gives them someone exactly like themselves to work with.

I think he resigns in the first two years. But even before GoldenGate I thought that was the plan.

I don't think he intended to win, but he did and then he had to figure a way out. He put Pence in to keep the GOP quiet long enough for him to appoint his buddies in positions of power. He'll stay in long enough to get what he wants (plus his name in the history books), then he'll resign next year citing whatever is the safest way out (needing to get back to his business, not wanting to be a distraction, etc).
