What role do you think people would play (in terms of results, endorsements, polls, etc)?

My take (not a prediction of what I think will happen)

Trump:    maybe Mark Zuckerberg or Tulsi Gabbard
Cruz:      Warren
Rubio:     Kamala Harris
Kasich:    Kirsten Gillibrand
Carson:   Jason Kander
Jeb!        Bullock
Christie:   Cuomo

Zuckerberg is not a good fill-in for Trump, more like some celebrity spewing left-wing rhetoric (or Gabbard)

Cruz is obviously Warren, originally well-liked by the base, somewhat burned by Warren's endorsement of Hillary or in the case of Cruz his originally proposed 'non-citizen legal status bill'/TPP op-ed with Ryan.

Walker is the closer parallel to Harris, both theoretical establishment + progressive unifying picks

Jeb/Rubio is basically an interchangeable category, and Booker fills that role.

The Carson-like candidate might be a celebrity with more minor appeal relative to the Trump equivalent candidate, perhaps more moderate and toned down.

Don't really think there is room in the Democratic field for a Huntsman/Kasich type candidate. Those 2 were mainly propped up in the GOP primary by liberal/moderate independents.

These comparisons will never work very well, because 2020 is a different environment from 2016, and the Democratic and Republican Parties are vastly different from each other. However, let me try:

Trump: Kanye West
Cruz: Kamala Harris
Rubio: Cory Booker
Kasich: Bill Nelson
Carson: Pete Buttigieg
Jeb!: Andrew Cuomo
Christie: Bob Menendez
Walker: Sherrod Brown
Pataki: Brian Schweitzer
Santorum: Martin O'Malley
Huckabee: Dennis Kucinich
Graham: Patty Murray
Fiorina: Tom Steyer
Gilmore: Tom Vilsack
Paul: Tulsi Gabbard
Jindal: Dannel Malloy
Perry: Charlie Crist
