People left-of-center run as Democrats
People right-of-center run as Independents in a three-way race, or as a Republican primary challenger to Trump (edit)

Example (if John Delaney posted before me):
()
John Delaney (D-MD)/John Edwards (D-NC): 537 EV, 70.1% PV
Donald Trump (R-NY)/Mike Pence (R-IN): 1 EV, 23.9% PV

Would win every state HRC, plus NC, FL, IA, WI, and MI

A Split Right Wing results in a Democrat Landslide

A Democrat -  424

Donald Trump - 102

RFayette - 12

Primary Challenge:
Donald Trump
RFayette

You would win over some evangelicals in the Deep South due to your very obvious religiosity. You would also win some #NeverTrump Republicans in the Northeast. California would vote for you because of the "favorite son" effect. That said, it's just too hard to win a primary against an incumbent president.

()
Governor Angry Socdem (D-MD)/Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) - 276 EV
President Donald J. Trump (R-NY)/Vice President Mike Pence (R-IN) - 262 EV

()

BDM/Tammy Baldwin - 308 51.89%

Donald Trump/Mike Pence - 230 46.54%

Obama 2012 + AZ (possibly + NC) - IA

A very successful primary challenge:

()

Unfourtunately, more than this is probably impossible against an incumbent.

Wouldn't be inspiring but would pull out a narrow victory. Very similar to 2016 but PA, MI, and FL are flipped.

This but IA and WI also flip

GOP Primary

Red = Trump
Blue = RFayette

302-236

()

388 - 150

()

Donald Trump: 57.38%

Not_Madigan: 40.72%

In a Republican primary of course and since Donald Trump will be the incumbent it would be very difficult to win against him. If Trump numbers continue to drop among the Republican base then give or take the Mountain West, West Coast, and parts of the Midwest to Not_Madigan but basically Not_Madigan gains the more moderate and liberal republicans and the a large chunk of the libertarian republican vote along with the Mormon vote which i suspect will still dislike Trump, Trump wins the rest and with massively margins in the South and Mid-Atlantic cruises to Re-Nomination. But in the end it doesn't matter as like Ted was to Jimmy, Trump goes down in November due to a split Republican base.

Govanah Jake- 355

Trump- 180

()

Trump - 39 States/59% PV
HisGrace - 11 States + DC/ 41% PV

Republican Primary between HisGrace and Donald Trump. HisGrace would do well in the states with more libertarian/socially moderate Republican voters, as well as the states with high GOP discontent with Trump, like Utah and Virginia.

That Conservative Guy (in blue) narrowly defeats Donald Trump by running on a platform of true conservatism.  Of course, this assumes that Trump had faltered enough to face a serious primary challenge.

()

Supported by conservatives and other Republicans that wanted Donald Trump out of the White House, ExtremeConservative won major victories across the country, thereby resulting in his nomination.

()

Sadly there's not too much room for moderate GOPers anymore :(

()

Beats Trump in a hard-fought race, but breaks through in Sun Belt and Rust Belt enough to pull it off.

()

You run against Trump in the primaries as a more traditional conservative, forming a coalition of NeverTrump conservatives and moderates casting protest votes. You also see a boost in California and surrounding states, but ultimately your candidacy leaves little impact.

I carried NJ and FL, my two home states, and performed pretty well so I'm pretty happy :)
