Chris Christie: May run for president in 2020
Jason Carter: May run for Governor or Senator again. Perhaps House.
Bobby Jindal: May run for House at a later date.
Lindsey Graham: Will continue to serve in the Senate, maybe a small chance at 2020 run.
Scott Walker: Retires in 2018 and may run for president. Regardless, he's Gilmore-esque
Michele Nunn: Has a future, just not 2016. Maybe 2018 Governor.
Greg Orman: Maybe House?
Charlie Crist: House.
Todd Tiahrt: Maybe done, maybe not.
Rand Paul: 2020 run.
