Rubio cannot wait . . . . he must run before he loses all of his hair. Rubio without hair is just a Cubano version of Rick Scott.

The problem is he has to convince voters that someone that lost to a political outsider is worthy of being the nominee. Which is further complicated by the fact it will be obvious he stayed in the Senate so he could run in 2020, that he only won one state in 2016, and lost his home state by large margins.
If the GOP loses again (and I fully expect they will lose both the White House and the Senate come November) the party will need to do what the Bill Clinton and the "New Democrats"/"Third Wayers" did in the early 1990s ... triangulate and return to the center. They are going to have to expand the GOP beyond angry old White people and "Religious Right" Bible thumpers.
Either the GOP returns to the center and makes peace with changing demographics, or else the party will literally become irrelevant outside of the Deep South and some rural Western states.
Some 21st century prospects:
- Marco Rubio
- John Kasich
- Paul Ryan
- Ben Sasse
- Nikki Haley
- George P Bush

All the things Hillary promise are way over her head and she will have to balance what her donors expects her and why people voted for her. I expect the GOP to maintain the house and senate just a little bit longer so it won't be easy to get anything done.
That's why I am not voting for her because I believe she will have problems delivering what her big donors expects and make voters happy.
Income inequality will continue and may get worse under her if her trade policies slips through without telling the people or sell it like Bill did with NAFTA. People were dumber back in the 90s, it'll be hard to get a Pacific Trade Agreement done without some casualties in both parties.
If people really think Hillary can change anything then go vote for her and stop complaining about being the rich getting richer.
People who voted for Obama thought race relations would improve, look what happened after 8 years....
It seems your beautiful rant made you forget what the OP's actual question was.
Cruz and/or Rubio. This would have been Cruz's year if not for all the Independents and Democrats voting for Trump in open primaries. Primaries need to be CLOSED!
Not sure Trump classifies as an outsider. He's got Bill Clinton cooties all over him.
Think about it this way.
Trump in business had to deal with clients of all flavors and needs. To build a building in NYC, one has to be friends and a working relationship with all who play in the sandbox of Politics.

Yea, its called "crony capitalism" and its one of the major issues that has helped ruin this country. Dishonest Donald is a pathetic fraud.
Hopefully Kelly Ayotte/Jodi Ernst best ticket for Republicans
You have a modern day Theodore Roosevelt and a Quasi Libertarian with military experience
I don't know I like the Republicans on everything. However, I feel they blend Christian religion into their politics and nerd to focus on seperating Church and State.
I am hoping a Republican can step forward doesn't have to like it, but supports LGBT rights. Candidate that's pro life, but realizes we need facilities to support abortions to protect women's health. Need to also advocate for adoption over abortion. Provide more resources to educate and prevent pregnancies till ready.
Open to improving healthcare in the US, change US tax system, and focused on larger power to States and smaller power as a nation over State affairs.

That is the point.
