Paul Manafort plucked him out of the crowd to present to Trump as a VP candidate. Mike Pence grabbed hold of the VP spot with both hands knowing he was unelectable for a second term as Governor of Indiana.

You can certainly work to increase the likelihood that his reputation and "legacy" properly resonate with his actual behavior and performance. In this instance exceptional cowardice and over-the-top bootlicking should appear in the first paragraph of his cv.
