Vance is an Uber-slick version of Trump and much smarter. That makes him very dangerous. Win or lose, Vance will be back, pushing his Christian nationalist agenda with well packaged lies.

To amplify just a little, Trump has no ideology beyond personal enrichment, avoiding prison and celebrity.
In addition to the skills noted above, Vance, like many wealthy tech-bros has an ideological agenda with a strong “masters of the universe” vibe. They believe themselves to be superior and do not want to be hampered by quaint notions like individual rights, social responsibility, voting….. Among my major concerns if Trump wins is that he will delegate policy direction to Vance, Stephen Miller et al and go play golf. Trump really only wants the title, not the job.
Yes, this. I think this is exactly what Vance's (handler billionaire Peter Theil) plans to do. If Trump becomes a dictator on day one, and America becomes an authoritarian regime, what's to stop Vance from taking over from Trump? Absolutely nothing. Trump is the distraction.
GhostoftheWhiteRose, I am certain trump is too dumb to realize that if he becomes president; he will only be an impediment to the more intelligent, crafty Vance becoming President. President Kennedy was assassinated because he wanted to end the Viet Nam War. His replacement LBJ went headlong into the war the CIA and military-industrial-complex wanted. Trump is too dumb to understand that this could happen to him.

This is my nightmare scenario: 🍊🤡 wins and lets his henchmen run everything. 🛋️ 🍆 becomes de facto president

Eric and Donald Jr have their eyes on succession
Walter - very well-said and my belief 100%. Trump only wants the power to punish, the access to graft, and freedom from prison.
Yes, and if they win, the odds are high Vance will end up taking the helm. That is terrifying.
