Regarding vice presidency: there was the occasion when VP Spiro Agnew resigned, and Gerald Ford was appointed under the terms of 25th Amendment, and then Richard Nixon resigned, and Ford became the President. So it's not always a dead end.
And considering that Trump is a) hated by quite many and therefore a possible assassination target, and b) oldest president-elect so far, it's distinctly possible that Trump wouldn't serve whole term.
On the other hand, Pence should act as an insurance for Trump against the more militant left: should they assassinate Trump, they'll get Pence as president...
Well, the assassination doesn't sound that likely. Many speculated that Obama would be a target for the white supremacists and extreme right. We haven't seen any openly reported attempts.

That was a comment about illegal immigrants, many of whom are rapists, both immigrants themselves and the people who bring immigrants to America.

I don't know what you're referring to here.

His exact words are important here. What did he say?

I agree Pence is terrible, but I've gotten used to terrible vice presidents. It's a powerless position that is usually a political dead end.
