Rubio, Walker, Haley. If Hillary wins, I think the GOP should nominate a female candidate in 2020. Haley/Rubio or Ayotte/Rubio would be a strong ticket I think.


However, the GOP voters would most likely double down on the ideology running with the mantra that if only they had chosen a real conservative and select a hardcore Bible thumper like Cruz instead.

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

Gotta go with the big tent, baby.

Either a gay Hispanic black Muslim woman. . . . . or Chris Christie.

Rubio will run but he will have a hard time I think. Better for him to wait a bit before trying again. Ryan might run if the conditions are right. Cruz defiantly will run again.

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

I think by 2020, the GOP will be split into two parties. The party as a group seems very split in their priorities and beliefs.

My guesses...Ammon Bundy, Wayne Lapierre, Sheriff Joe or Shirley Phelps-Roper...

Default By 2020

Trump will win and pave the way for the gen of Republicans. I say that because these polls we read are no done with objectivity. Trump been attacked and to his credit he is still here and beat 17 other Respected GOP Candidates.


Liberals afraid of Trump Change and the establishment is terrified of a outsider. (DNC and the GOP)


2016 is the year of the outsider thanks to Obama 8 years of acting like a Emperor, instead of President.

Not sure Trump classifies as an outsider. He's got Bill Clinton cooties all over him.
