Trump if he runs for re-election. Pence or Cruz if he doesn't.

If the republican primaries were reasonable, I would say Ben Sasse. Whoever can be the most obnoxious will probably win, so I'll go with Rubio.

Why not? It worked in 2016.

This entire thread is speculation. This entire thread is focused on the future.

First time I may actually agree with a socialist on anything. But no Rubio finished he's never going to run for president again and if he does he has no chance of being the nominee. He probably wouldn't even be in the top 5 or 6 presidential candidates

To me, it seemed like, after his failed bid last year, Rubio immediately pivoted to running for president again.  If Clinton had won last year, then Rubio would be running in 2020.  But since he's unlikely to challenge an incumbent GOP president, he'll wait until 2024.

I think Rubio went into 2016 prepared for the possibility that he would lose the nomination, but live to fight another day, and would then run for president again in 2020 or 2024.  He's young enough that he'll probably run for president again at least one more time, if not two.

Rubio was prepared to lose to Jeb Bush or maybe Scott Walker. He wasn't prepared to lose to Trump, Cruz, and especially not Kasich. A guy that was 1 percent in the polls when he first announced his presidency. Think of it Rubio expected to be either the nominee or the runner up. He basically thought he would be the Rick Santorum of 2016 and instead won only one state and three contests and came in a very distant second in his own home state after the entire GOP establishment backed him. Rubio will never be president and probably never Vice President. No matter how many times he runs. In fact I believed if he runs in 2024 he's probably not even going to last until the early voting states. If he does he'll be out after Iowa.

Short of Rubio, the country will be looking for change again in 2020. Pence and Trump will have an ethics cloud over them.
