Saturday

Mostly because Vance won't make some of the stupid errors that Trump does. He has more self-control, which will help his image. His corruption prior to being VP has only barely come to light, and attention faded quickly. Of course, he had less baggage than Trump, because of his age, and the fact of Peter Thiel sponsoring him.

Finally, he is younger, healthier, with at least two terms legally possible...and all the illegal tactics already in his tool box.
