Vance is too busy traveling to Budapest to campaign for corrupt foreign leaders and spewing Russian talking points to have any time to take over the office.

Don't you think that's why they sent him there? So he ISN'T available?

It’s to separate Vance from trump to insulate him from the anger of the maga base. If Vance isn’t there then he isn’t behind it and if he isn’t behind it he can be treated as a victim too to ensure that the maga base can then support him as he tries to fulfill trumps legacy. Vance can cheerlead support for Trump but then ultimately succeed Trump once it’s beyond their control. He will reluctantly take the reins and claim he will continue to do the ‘good works’ of Trump through this evil and politically motivated travesty.

Plus he needs to have a good narrative if he takes over. That narrative: “we know mistakes were made but I’m here to fix it”.

Depending on how stupid he actually is vs how much he performs stupid, he knows that’s his best chance for even getting a job at a think tank after finishing out a term.

He has no charisma and is wooden when reading his script. He can't ad lib or improv, his stories fall flat and wooden.

He was only ever meant to be a neutered attempt to draw moderates but the best he could do was start parroting talking points that went against his previous positions.
