Hitler looses the 1932 election, what next for the nazis?

The key to Hitler's rise was his appointment as Chancellor; that said, if Hindenburg simply doesn't appoint Hitler prior to his death in 1934, it may be possible that the Nazis, or right-wing authoritarians of some stripe, get another opening. That's why I like Hindenburg not running in the 1932 Election best -- have the Weimar Coalition rally behind somebody else, and he would still most likely win the election, giving the republic another seven years so long as the new guy doesn't appoint Hitler.
 
Has anyone done a 1932 Presidential election of Hitler vs a Weimar coalition backed candidate whose not Hindenburg TL? My guess is a center party candidate would do best against Hitler, similar to Wilhelm Marx against Hindenburg in 1925.
 
There a easy POD how Hitler could loose the 1932 election
Goebbels wrote in his diary year 1930, that he wanted to OUIT the NSDAP !
He was disappointed about the opportunistic fraction in Party, Intrigue against him by high rang members like Himmler and lack of leadership of Hitler over the Party in this time

without Goebbels, Hitler had focus more on Munich, instead the capitol Berlin
also not used the Aircraft for his election campaign, only Car and Train.
next to that Hitler miss with Goebbels a talented writer/good speaker for the NSDAP public speechs

My guess is if Goebbels Ouit's the NSDAP he take his parliament seat (won under NSDAP in 1928) and
join the DNVP (German National People's Party)
the main nationalist party in Weimar Fepublic composed of nationalists, reactionary monarchists, völkisch, and antisemitic elements, and supported by the Pan-German League.

OTL the DNVP had formed an uneasy alliance with NSDAP and the Stahlhelm paramilitary organisation during 1931
were the NSDAP make profit, by get money and members, in 1933 DNVP was absorb by NSDAP


But with Goebbels insider knowledge about real situation in NSDAP, DNVP never allied with them
and the DNVP would get a effective propaganda machine, not the NSDAP...
