Jindal
Bush
Cruz
Almost anyone in Democratic Party besides Hillary Clinton, Cory Booker, and MAYBE Kirsten Gillibrand (if only because her unidentifiable-ness is probably a strength)

Sanders
Bolton
Santorum
O'Malley
Schweizer
Warren

They're the only ones on my list of who will be running who I think absolutely could not win under any circumstances beyond facing each other.

Bush also could not win, but I suspect he won't run.

To tell the truth, not many people would blow it just because of their ideology. How many true swing independent voters are left anyway? Instead the sacrificial lambs will be those whose temperament seems unsuited for running for office and the poorly disciplined, which weakens the newbies (Schweitzer especially). If candidates carry themselves well I see no reason why people with Cruz's or even Sanders' beliefs couldn't win.

The only real certain loss based on ideology, would be those beliefs which are deeply unfashionable now. Neo-conservatism comes to mind.

Carson, Herman Cain, Bolton, possibly both Peter and Steve King, Santorum on the GOP side.

O'Malley and Biden on the dem side.
