Not an easy question, probably TRUMP if I'm forbidden to vote third party.  He could be checked and primaried.  Jeb Bush would act like a nice guy but pass programs and appoint 20-30 year judges that would continue to destroy this country.  I think if Trump is nominated the Democratic Party is probably screwed for the long-term anyway.

The reality is that trump would be cooperating with a much more progressive institution than he would if he were a republican, and he would be constrained by that institution also.

This is important for people voting for trump because of his economic populism:. Do you think Republicans in Congress would ever let Trump pass any of his anti-big business economic proposals?  Not a chance.  And the Democrats wouldn't cooperate much with him because a two party system is fundamentally zero sum where you try to screw the other party  a la Mitch McConnell.
