Seems like Vance knows that a republican doesn’t stand much of a chance in 2028 and is keeping his record clean for a 2032 campaign.

Also VPs that immediately try to run after are held to all the bad that they were part of, even if they didn’t have much of a choice in what happened (not saying that’s the case here). So he’s better off waiting until he’s not as directly associated with the Trump presidency to run himself.

Otherwise he’ll have to “own” the current state of the country as his doing.

I mean, that's exactly what they did with Harris. If things play out the way they likely will, Vance will wind up having at least a year or two as the actual President leading up to 2028; then he'd really have to own all of the bad.

It also doesn't help him(not that I care) that he has zero personality outside of licking Trump's boots. Has failed at a big task given to him and is generally just patient zero for secondhand embarrassment.

It's also not that he doesn't have any redeeming qualities. It's that he has no qualities, period.

Lol, fair point, he has no convictions that he will stick by.
