As Jonathan Chait notes, Mike Pence is really impressed with how Donald Trump's shoulders qualify the man as a great leader. That's right: His shoulders.

One of the many things I think some Trump supporters got wrong about Trump is that they thought he was a macho, strong man…which is all some people seem to want in a candidate. Knowledge…good judgment…basic understanding of human needs? Who cares about that stuff if he's John Wayne? The two times I've seen Trump in person, he did not strike me as that. He struck me as a bully who expects to have his ass kissed and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. I imagine we're about to see a lot of that.
