New from me: ahead of tonight’s debate, I feel the need to state what should be obvious. Vance fails to meet the core constitutional duty of the vice president: be ready to step in as president

Yes. I’ve seen little comment on this aspect of the debate—a huge difference between the two of them last night was that the answer from Walz were steeped in deep experience in governing, while Vance’s were glib bromides from the guy who read something once.
I'm going to do some reading tonight to answer "of all time," but I often think of Chester A. Arthur, whose pre-VP experience was pretty much entirely lawyering and patronage appointments, and then had a shocking change of heart about patronage once Garfield was assassinated and he became president.
If he follows Curtis Yarvin's concepts of a plan, it won't matter. There will be no president, just a CEO. I'm sure JD will get all kinds of help from friendly CEOs. This dictator thing is a plan that might work– on Mars.
TY for this. The comparison to Palin should work. Of course, Palin was a woman, and the GOP had not yet become willing to elect a butternut squash if it wore a MAGA hat.
In a Trump administration this almost doesn't matter -- the policy is outsourced to the highest bidder with the President being almost just a figurehead who will spend most of his time either vacationing or holding klan rallies.
Not only does JD lack the experience to be a cheeseburger way, but he also lacks the integrity to even service as veep. He's admitted he would have done the opposite of Pence.

“He has passed no major legislation, and several of those bills that he has submitted have had no co-sponsors at all.”
Unquestionable failure.
