The big question is the Rs. I think there will be a field, almost unheard of with an incumbent, and you could see someone like Coulter running to his right. Maybe even Pence. You'll get a small crowd to the "center", e.g., more respectable racists, who will likely cancel each other out.

Pence is unelectable. He wasn't even going to win reelection as Governor in Indiana. Coulter is also unelectable, and not likely to run (skeletons). Kasich looks electable but isn't. Too moderate and establishment. And forget Romney. He's not even worth discussing. Same goes for Flake.
Some cryptofascist like Cotton might emerge as a contender. In which case I am leaving the country.
Sasse could make a run of it. He's marketable to a broad enough crowd of voters, and pretty and inoffensive.
