Pence is a strong, rock hard specimen of a man.
You look at him and think world leader.
And did you see the size of his hands?
Definitely the hands of a man who could keep a wife.
I bet he could do some amazing deals.
I trust Mike Pence so much, I wouldnt even want to see his taxes.
Someone should give Mike Pence a TV show.
Colbert then joked that it was a big, big night for the Pence-Trump ticket.
I mean, it was a huge night for Donald Pence.
I mean, for the guy who lives in Pence Tower.
But despite Pences performance, Colbert still found room for some mockery.
He left off the end of that proverb.
