David Kamioner: Mike Pence has gained a lot of credibility as someone who puts duty and country above political calculations. A guy like that could make a superb president. He has the requisite experience in the House, as Indiana governor, and as veep. But even better, he has a temperamental advantage in this time of overheated hyperbole. He’s not a drama queen.
