Also need to look at GOP challengers. They may push us into a contested GOP primary.
If not successful with that or if losing a contested primary look for an Independent Conservative run outwith the GOP.
I'm sure that will happen, and the challenge could be stiff. The rub is, none have a better horoscope score than The Donald to actually win. Except for a few unlikely choices, including her daughter! And Pataki, who already was rejected by the GOP; and, just barely, Carly Fiorina, who still hasn't enough recognition, and as sharp as she is, would not offer much in the way of a positive alternative to Drump. But then, few Republican or conservative candidates would.
I'll use the Rags Election Sane Platform TM as an indicator.
1. 1 point for economic nationalism.
2. 1 point for ignoring PC.
3. 1 point for upholding / expanding safety nets.
4. 1 point for sane foreign policy.
5. 1 point for upholding civil rights
6. 1 point for smacking the MIC.
7. 1 point for smacking party poopers. [Supports BATF, DEA, etc. ]
With the RESP score, Sanders and then Warren are the top 2 picks.
