Assuming that existing Trump voters would vote for Pence over any Democrat (not too much of an extreme assumption, I think), he could potentially draw additional votes where Trump has burned a lot of bridges.

I think a race between Pence and someone like Warren would be interesting. I couldn't even begin to guess who would win that one.

If you are a fire-in-the-belly Trump supporter who cheers when Trump calls women "pigs" and warns of ISIS fighters embedded in caravan invasions of the homeland, what about the mild-mannered Pence would attract you? I don't see him leading chants of "lock her up" or "send them back."

He would be vulnerable even to a Cruz-style primary opponent.

On the other hand, he is not crazy, and it is Trump crazy that would put voters over the top for Warren, at this point--people who grasp that real crazy and incompetence really is worse than the socialist bogeyman.
