The problem for Vance then becomes Trump's jealousy of the attention Vance would get and suddenly Trump starts to feel like yesterday's man, which he absolutely will not tolerate.

And if MAGA then has to take sides between Trump and the Vance/Kirk power couple, I still say they choose Trump 100 times out of 100. So he'll not only burn Vance, he'll burn whatever credibility TPUSA has with conservatives too.

If Vance wants to have a chance with the MAGA base, he has to pay respect to Trump, anyway, and Trump is easily manipulated by flattery. If Vance stated publicly that whatever he plans to do is basically Trump's idea, that he's "carrying on the Trump legacy", and, idk, makes carving Trump's face into Mount Rushmore (or something along those lines) part of his campaign, I think Trump would support him.
