Should Trump switch Pence for a swing state VP candidate?

[Basil the Great]

It looks like if the President has a chance of winning, it will be another close election. Yes, Pence has been a faithful VP, but he brings little to the ticket, at least in terms of carrying a state or states. How about switching him for Sen. Johnson of WI or Sen. Toomey of PA? What think ye?

A VP candidate hasn't actually influenced the outcome of an election since 1960, and I see no reason that would change here.

Many have made the same statement, and yes, 1960 was the last time that a VP candidate quite possibly swung the election.

Pence isn't holding Trump back from winning anybody. Trump is.

The way things are going, Pence should be thinking about ditching Trump, not the opposite...

Actually Sarah Palin made a difference for John McCain, both in a good way and a bad way.

McCain would have lost even with a different running mate. Obama was too charismatic and the people were too tired of GWB's policies.
