I don't think Trump wins with two outsiders. Too much chance for the media to reign down on them relentlessly. At least with Pence they thought they had their "back up plan" in Impeachment/25th amendment.
Pence was great as a calming figure on the ticket as well. Good ying/yang with Trump.
Trump likely doesn't trust any of these guys, his circle is extremely small. He uses and abuses his enemies to do his bidding for a time until they attempt to turn on him. He's already ready when they do and kicks them to the curb.
You need to play in the system to destroy the system in this case. Too many outsiders and no one gets confirmed to the Cabinet. Trump had to walk a fine line to get things done.
Enemies close and he gave them the impression they were scamming him while he was playing them. I can appreciate that.

He scammed the heck out of them by letting the steal stand and bitching out.
