Straw Man

... but I'll say it again: Vance will never be able to support a cult of personality like DJT. He doesn't know how to do that fake tough-talking buddy-buddy bullshit that Trump has down to a tee from years of swindling contractors. Vance has all the charisma of rotting fish. He whines and talks down to everyone, even those on his own side. Nobody likes him, and nobody is afraid of him.

Furthermore, I don't think he's nearly as susceptible to manipulation by the Stevens (Miller and Bannon), nor does he have the audacity to pull off some of the insane shit that his boss does. I could be wrong, but I don't see Vance as a major threat. I think he would be supremely ineffectual as a President, which would be a good thing for both the US and the world.
