Vance grabbed the spotlight after his nomination, and that would have been a sin enough, but he was also extremely unlikeable and weird. He probably can’t show his face in public without Trump personally approving it, and Trump no longer has the attention and energy to follow his own schedule, much less micromanage Vance - hence, no Vance.
I notice that they aren’t pushing Vance to pick up the slack.
If McCain had been having problems in the 2008 race, Palin would have been out 24/7.
I wonder if it’s because Trump doesn’t want to share the spotlight
That’s absolutely it.
