This poll had to be here eventually.

All of them would have defeated Sanders, though

Only Rand Paul comes to mind, but his primary campaign was such an abortion that I think he'd find a way to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

Kasich should have been the nominee, for the sake of a party that would be united and he'd be the most electable.
Will somebody please correct the spelling of Rick Santorum's name?

All of them but Christie, who would have been sunk by Bridgegate.  The only other one I questioned was Pataki, since the conservative base might not have turned out for a pro-abortion candidate.  Trump was the weakest candidate imaginable, and it says something major about Hillary that she managed to lose to him.

The only one who might have is Kasich.

But yeah. Sanders would've been toast against most of them except, like, Ben Carson.

Most of them could've beaten her. Ben Carson almost certainly  couldn't have.

All but Cruz, Carson, Santorum, Huckabee and maybe Christie. Hillary was a terrible candidate, Trump wasn't a spectacular one. It was a Republican year. Cruz would have made it close though.

I don't know. With some like Jeb! and Rubio, Clinton would not have taken the losses she did with the WWC. Also wouldn't have gained much in the suburbs.

Clinton would not have lost as badly with non-college educated whites against another candidate but the Democrats do have underlying problems with that demographic and had been in decline with them, plus she is not popular with them so the Republicans could still improve on their showing with non-college educated whites a bit and do better with college-educated whites.
