Trump. He's much easier to beat so long we don't nominate somebody with the second highest unfavorability rating for a Presidential candidate and isn't seen as untrustworthy by 2/3's of the American people again.

Pence would be a tougher challenger. Liked by the Trump wing (Trump picked him after all), liked by many reluctant Romney->Clinton/abstained/third Party voters, doesn't say incendiary comments 24/7, doesn't scare off minority voters the way Trump did, from the Midwest, etc.

Pence would obviously be preferable as President over Trump though.

Pence is absolutely easier to beat. All those Obama voters who flipped to Trump wouldn't flip to a theocrat like Pence.

The Midwest has been trending Republican as a result of deunionization for decades now and Bush II came incredibly close to flipping a lot of Midwestern states in both 2000 and 2004.

Worst case scenario in a close election Pence holds onto Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio.
