The thing that drives the current government isn’t actually hard power that the president has. It’s a lot of soft power, of people who are willing to execute the presidents EOs even if they are unconstitutional. And that soft power is not something Vance has.

I really hope you are correct that Vance won't have the soft power, but I'm not convinced. Sigh.

The guy isn't really well liked beyond he's Trump's pick, and his sniveling toadie aspect makes him weak

Don't Thiel and his buddies support him, though?

He needs all of them though, including the voters. Republicans in DC are mostly held in check through fear of Trump kicking them out of power because they know he has the whim of the dipshits that vote for them. He merely points their ire where he wants

And what do you think the government is currently trying to do, in terms of gutting every government agency they are removing all of the power from other branches of the government and consolidating it for the president to be the sole decider.
