If D. Trump drops out or if the Republican party elites figure out a way to dump Trump, my question would be - how many Republican primary votes did Pence get? #2 in the Republican primaries was Ted Cruz who many/most Republicans now hate. But in an election that's been full of surprises, my guess is the article below outlines the most likely scenario.

Nice try, Sen. Kirk, but unless the RNC moves to remove Trump as their nominee, a whole lot of Republican incumbents better get used to the idea of losing on election day, because Donald Trump isn’t going anywhere.
For the last 20-30 years the Republican party has been setting the table for someone like D. Trump to come along and eat their lunch - how humiliating this must be for the party of Abraham, Teddy, and Ike.
