I am not convinced that Vance is Trump's "natural successor". First, I'm not sure we have really seen what Vance thinks (on any topic). He takes care to not openly contradict Trump's position, but here and there he hints that his own position may be different. Second, Vance doesn't have anything like Trump's charisma. He's much more wooden. He would have to hold the Trump coalition together through policy alone, and I'm not sure that can be done. (All right, he can also use nostalgia. I'm not sure that will be enough.)
