We already knew Vance had a huge 180 on a lot of his beliefs since 2016. That's literally what we knew first about him and why they open with the "from a Never Trumper."
And I'd wager that this person backstabbing him like this is more likely to radicalize him our way than any other possibility.
Politicians really are groomed & selected vs winning their positions organically.
This is extremely important to understand about our political system and why it's so good at log jamming reforms. Any serious reformer is going to have to come from outside, much more so than even Trump. He's but a stepping stone, not a savior.
It's the same in the military. People are identified when they are junior captains and then given the right assignments and schools which eventually lead them to making general.
It truly is an uphill battle convincing these people to reform the system, because they don't see anything wrong with it. It works when selecting the best of the best- otherwise it wouldn't have picked them.

Interesting that Mitch McConnell approached Vance to run in 2017 shortly after his novel and not far out of law school in his early 30s.
