Out of the 17 candidates in this years field, only a couple may have had a chance. Marco Rubio being the likely greatest chance. Fact of the matter is, it has become electorally very difficult for a Republican to now win the White House. Trump won because many democrats actually voted for him. Trump isn't a typically ideologue like just about every politician is. Trump doesn't think in those terms. He thinks of issues that are out there and forms an opinion that is often populist tone to them. People were drawn to a guy wasn't necessarily a conservative or liberal.</blockquote>
