I see it claimed that Vance would be worse a lot, but he doesn’t even remotely have what it takes to be a cult leader, which is all the GOP is now. The power vacuum could only be a good thing.
I do agree with you that Vance is a buffoon, but underestimating people like him is exactly how we got Trump in the first place. People just assumed he was doing it as a goof and had no real chance of winning and then he won. Twice.
It’s entirely possible that when Trump dies or if he leaves office (it is really depressing that I have to say if there) the GOP will just pick Vance to take his place. We know the Republican base will gobble up whatever garbage is shoved down their throats so it’s really not that hard to believe.

I could certainly see Vance being worse in certain areas. But not as broadly bad.
