The only thing I feel confident about with respect to future elections is that we aren't going back to the days of Romney/McCain/Dole/HW Bush republican nominees. Ben Sasse, Nikki Haley, and all these other "normal" republicans are finished. All that matters is who can win enough of Trump's base to win the republican nomination. After that, can any republican win the presidency? Sure. All it takes is a slim win in MI/PA/WI/etc, and demographics are trending their way. I don't think AZ and GA will be reliable blue states in the near term...they're purple states that will flip back and forth depending on the candidate.
But does Ted Cruz have the ability to win that type of race? Tom Cotton? Mike Pence? I doubt it.
