They can't admit they were wrong about Trump, so they stick with him. They don't have to defend a choice about Vance

He is the cult of personality. They cannot be replaced with just anybody.

so it'll be quite easy for them to turn on him. Same goes, really, for anyone else - they're investing so much in keeping on supporting Trump, that they'll need a break when he finally falls/dies. I don't think the cult is inheritable (and no, the Trump spawn won't be able to - MAGA only go through the motions of liking them because Trump still wants that).
