Do not let perfection be the enemy of good.

Vance does not have any of the charisma nor the following that Trump has. His ability to coalesce a ruling party is low. It's why Trump is still in power.

The bigger issue as I see it is that Trump wants to rule by charisma first. I don't think Vance particularly gives a shit if people curse his name - meaning that, at the first sign of things getting out of hand, I think he's more willing to hit the "start killing protestors until the streets are red" button.

Vance has no charisma and he knows it. He is an empty vessel made by Peter Thiel and others.

Vance is a proxy for Thiel

Yep! Add in that what's left of MAGA will viciously turn on Vance for all the things they could bring themselves to pin on Trump. Vance'll be a copegoat.
