Or maybe highlighting the history of the VP doesn't get anywhere with the electorate because the Presidential candidate is the one that sets the policy?

Pence has an awful record in Indiana, his history essentially stands against everything I believe to be important, and I don't know that Trump wouldn't just hand the reigns to him if he won the Presidency. Trump doesn't want to do the grunt work, he wants the glory and the attention. Can you really see him working to help craft policy?
Pence, on the other hand, would be happy to fill Scalia's SCOTUS position with an even farther right judge, and would happily convince Trump to sign whatever right-wing legislation that was put on his desk, to hell with women's rights, LGBT rights, workers' rights, etc.
