I have doubts that JD Vance can pull off a Republican realignment to himself. He's not a 2nd gen wealthy person who assumes that every one will do his bidding.

And trump himself isn’t exactly that?

He is precisely that, and I believe it's the secret of his success. Vance doesn't have that. Sure, he's wealthy now, but he didn't grow up with wealthy, narcissistic parents himself. Vance won't be able to command obedience reflexively, automatically, like Trump can, with attitude and habit alone.

Sorry, I was tired and misread your comment and skipped on the "not". It wouldn't have made sense anyway given Vance's upbringing, so sorry for the noise.
