Pence would, in my opinion, be worse domestically on both economic and social issues.

On the other hand, Trump's recklessness in foreign policy may result in all of us dying in a catastrophic war with China or Russia.

And sure, he's Putin's buddy now. If they ever disagree on something, watch unstoppable force meet unmovable object ego wise. There is a high probability of any dispute between the two of them escalating out of control.
