I'd say Rubio, Cruz and Kasich will be back for sure. I don't know if you've noticed but the GOP has no problem nominating the previous cycle's losers. Huckabee and Santorum will always be back because they're running for the money not to win. Jeb! feels unlikely, he was humiliated pretty bad, plus the only advantage he had was his apparent inevitability and the money he raised with it, clearly that can't work again. Walker (remember him?) is difficult to guess, he burned through his money like an idiot.

I think Bill Haslam will be a major contender too: two-term governor of a decent-sized state (TN), billionaire, able to govern like a moderate in spite of his lunatic state legislature. Assuming the party hasn't completely swallowed itself in some orgiastic Trump death-spasm, I could see him being a strong candidate.

please let donald trump win it all so there is no contested convention. let the koch brothers witness the billions of dollars they poured into politics burn away and their careful infrastructure they have built be drowned in a tide of orange bronzer. let them choke on it, before they go from this earth i want them to know that their dreams of a 3rd world united states where they ruled was destroyed by a man who sold steaks for the sharper image. and that they can never ever fix it. let the repiblicans eat the poo poo they have cultivated for nearly the past 20 years. i want to see each and every one of them have the face of christie at the convention. or them rush the stage and stab him to death like cesear. its the ides of march, lets do this poo poo.

The stories we have seen about the Kochs so far seems to indicate that they are strongly anti-Trump, but weren't convinced spending money on ads would work. Threatening trade wars is going to keep the Kochs firmly in the anti-Trump space. The fact that he is ending the GOP at the national level after they spent so much money building up the party probably doesn't sit too well with them either.

You know what still astounds me is you can listen to people talk and length about how toxic Donald Trump is, how he could possibly destroy the party, that he is terrible in every way and in the next breath they say they will support whoever the Republican nominee who very well could be Trump. What the gently caress is wrong with these people, you aren't supporting your shity local sports team, this is the president of the United States and you just told me how Trump is one of the worst things to ever happen to Republican politics but you would still vote for him because he has an R next to his name.

50% wanting an "outsider" is much lower than the previous primaries and Trump won't get 100% of that bloc, so that is actually not a super hopeful result for Trump. It depends how the "experience" section of the vote splits.

I'm tingling with anticipation! For reference when I went to vote in suburban Cleveland today, the line was held up by a tiny ~90 year old man with a walker. The poll worker was repeatedly asking him if he wanted the Democratic or Republican ballot, and he was loudly and proudly proclaiming his desire to vote for Trump. His wife finally had to come over and indicate that he wanted the Republican ballot.
