I think Trumps entire run has shown he did what he wanted and bit his thumb at the republican establishment.
I think at the time of picking his VP there weren't many politicians willing to tie themselves to Trump's anchor. Kasich for instance, Ted Cruz refused to endorse etc.
Pence was on his way out of politics, nothing to lose.
