In the interest of steelmanning positions, I will say that it seems Vance feels abandoned by Trump. He is still pushing the same policies, but when he was giving his thank you’s, Trump was not on the list. Could be nothing, but still a data point to consider.
Not that The Turtle and RNC helped much either. They deserve the lions share of the blame, but Trump is not innocent either.
Yeah, I'm not saying Trump's political strategists are up to Karl Rove's standards here; but it definitely feels like the Establishment GOP would rather lose every election than let Trump win thrice.
