How Is The US Going to Assume Leadership in Venezuela

Anyone have any ideas? Is there a viable opposition group that can take over? Is trump going to fly in cronies and install them? Will they meet resistance. There may be some work left to do there before we're in charge.

Have they planned how?

Whether is a viable opposition remains to be seen. There are oppositions groups and individuals but whether they can manage the country properly may be a big unknown.

The greatest danger is a "power vacuum"; the country breaking down in fighting between factions pleased to see the Maduros taken away, even if they don't necessarily agree with a foreign country having removed them; and Maduro's loyalists including possibly the military.

Such unrest will serve no-one's interests, certainly not of the USA nor of the US oil firms hoping to take over Venezuela's main industry, and least of all the citizens of the country.
