He thinks he could run as VP with Vance at the head of the ticket. His chances of that are slightly better than in his own current nominal party. After all, the fascist party likes its politicians to be unthinking sycophants. They could try selling him with the same image that he projected to Dems, a down-to-earth everyday person. One who became "enlightened" enough to become a MAGA.
