BaalSechal – VERY nice!! That was a deep thought! The truth is that Malchus, rulership, is a middah that anyone can be koyneh. As Chazal tell us, that for a period of time, all that Shlomo HaMelech ruled over was his own walking stick. He was left with nothing but a cane, yet we are told he reigned over this cane. How do you ‘rule’ over a cane?! We see that Malchus is a Middah, not something dependent on having a palace, wealth or an army. And as you pointed out, Eisav could have been koyneh this middah to the highest level, even more than Yaakov, yet he failed.
