Was 2016 simply a change year, giving the upper hand to any Republican? Was Trump the worst possible nominee, but lucky enough to run in a year that overwhelmingly favored Republicans?

If it ended up as Hillary Clinton vs Jeb! Bush, would anyone have even bothered voting?  Even I might have stayed home.

I think Jeb or Cruz would loose. Jeb was seen as similar to his brother and Cruz has little appeal outside of solidly Republican states. Rubio or Kasich could win.

Jeb! would have been seen by a lot of the public the same way as Hillary: scion of a much maligned political dynasty. A Bernie Sanders vs Jeb! Bush map would be interesting to see. Sanders might actually make gains in KY and WV. Not enough to win them, but maybe get close to within single digits.

Republicans were not guaranteed to win that year

Not guaranteed, but it was theirs to lose. By any objective measure, it was an overwhelmingly favorable environment for them.
