I think Vincent would have done ok. The death of Michael would have affected him and he would try to be a man like him
Or is that bullshit?

As I said in another Vincent thread near this one: Michael probably offered Vincent the Donship to substitute his lust for power for his lust for Mary. Vincent would have taken over whatever was left of the "illegitimate" Corleone business that Michael wouldn't be interested in once he got Immobiliare, leaving Michael totally legit. What would Vincent have gotten? Probably very little at that point. He might have taken over Zasa's former empire with Zasa and The Ant gone, and Altobello assassinated. I bet Michael would have retained Neri. An interesting question: Had Vincent become Mr. Big in NYC Mafia, would he eventually have clashed with Michael? Probably not, because, as Apple said, he didn't have Michael's head for the big deals. But power is an end unto itself. Who knows?

Since he was after all Santino's son and (according to Auntie Connie) posessed Vito's 'strength' but lacked Michael's 'head for big deals'...he would most likely have eventually met a similar fate to that of his father.

Apple [/b]He may have had his father's famous temper (you know it toured in 5 countries) but let's not forget that Michael schooled him on quite a lot; most importantly, how to channel that anger. But THE MOST IMPORTANT lesson Vincent learned under Michael's guidance is that all pezzonovanti are ultimately scumbags who are not as protected as they may think. Heck, Michael learned this long ago when the prevailing wisdom was that "You can't kill a New York City Police Captain." As long as you're willing and able to weather whatever shitstorm rains down afterward, you'll be alright.
