Actually as someone relatively unknown to the American people, Pence could have used an introduction. Trump just isn't that kind of guy.
Trump signaled his attitude symbolically with the Rolling Stones lyrics ringing in our ears, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try real hard,... you get what you need." Trump needs party unity, and to reassure his base. He needs Pence's ties to the Koch brothers and other major donors. But he wanted Christie.
The so-called introduction was the usual litany of Trump praising Trump. For Trump, looks matter. He let us know Pence is handsome. Than he sleepily read some statistics about Indiana. I doubt many will be excited that this out of step hyper conservative has stepped onto the ticket. Trump isn't.
