What would happen if the 2016 election was between a Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell ticket for the Republicans and a Nancy Pelosi/Chuck Schumer ticket for the Democrats?

It would have probably looked like the IRL 2016 election map if not better for Ryan.

The Battle of the Unfavorables

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)/Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) - 295 EVs
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)/Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) - 243 EVs

Ryan's conservative wonkiness and focus on entitlement reform makes him perform worse than Trump in the rust belt, but he over-performs in states with more establishment-friendly GOP voters, such as VA, NH, and CO. Combine this with a slew of gaffes from the Democratic candidate (Pelosi isn't always great with words), and you have a pretty solid Republican victory.
