[quote=Anonymous]I think the shine will come of Vance quickly but it's normal for the winning ticket to get a victory lap after a win. Back when it was not clear Trump would win, and after Vance had a series of negative stories in the press just as the Harris-Walz ticket was on the rise, people were gearing up to blame Vance for a loss (including Trump). But they won and that makes everyone forgiving. I agree he's smarmy and has very few consistent views. He molded himself into a Trump acolyte and was rewarded with the VP role. But VPs rarely become president. HW Bush managed it but Reagan was an enormously popular president with broad appeal -- Trump won a narrow victory in a deeply divided country where incumbents get punished every cycle. Nixon did it but a decade after he served as VP and in the midst of the Vietnam wore and a cultural upheaval -- Trump already pulled that rabbit out of the hat. LBJ became president after the assassination of an enormously popular president and road patriotic support to re-election. Vance is unlikely to have any of those favorable situations and on top of that he's not a very talented politician. I think he will soon disappear from public view. I might wind up governor of Ohio one day but I wouldn't bet on anything higher than that. I could even see him just returning to the Senate and staying there the rest of his career.[/quote]
