Any of them. Trump's favorables are bad within the party.

I'm not sure any of them, to be honest. Maybe Cruz because he so organizationally outclasses TRUMP that he may be able to get voters that would usually pick establishment candidates to go for him under the threat of TRUMP?

Otherwise I don't see it - Rubio is already a naked emperor and would only get completely boxed out by TRUMP, Christie has no infrastructure anywhere else (but, at least on paper, he could compete with TRUMP), Kasich has spent too much time crafting an image perfect for moderate New England Republicans while alienating every other kind of Republican, and Jeb Bush is Jeb Bush: he had his best performance tonight but I think that was an outlier, and it's certainly par for the course for him where about 7% of the time he hits out of the park and 93% he's shrugging and telling people to give him a break.

And then Fiorina and Carson already got clowned by TRUMP, and (joking) if Gilmore had money he'd obviously be the GILMOREMAN, but he doesn't so he's not.

Jim Gilmore is the GilMan whether or not he has money. Remember, he's Gil-more -- not Gil-less.

Rubio, Cruz, and Christie certainly could.

Kasich, Bush, and Fiorina maybe.

Only Cruz. Christie is sadly viewed as corrupt unfairly. Rubio never could, even before.  Bush and Kasich are losers.

Christie is nearly as big of a bully as Trump is, so him.
