I can remember only one VP nominee being thrown off the ticket: Tom Eagleton because of his history (and treatment for) depression.

Could Pence's days as VP nominee be numbered?

Maybe that's the strategy? "Hey guys, the top of the ticket is an insane whackjob who appeals to racists and bigots, but don't worry, the establishment guy running with him will make sure everything runs smoothly."
