No. It'll take the better part of a decade or so to get that out of their system. I mean, I'd vote for Weld or Huntsman over Hillary, but the chances are slim to none that 1 of those guys gets nominated next time. The best Pubs can hope for is there isn't someone like Trump around in 4 years who captures the imaginations of those Reagan Dems like he has done, and someone like Haley, Ryan or Daniels beats back the challenge from the Christian Right guy, either Pence or Cruz.
The GOP is ripe for an alt-right takeover. The Religious Right and remaining Tea Partiers are still in the mix as well. There's not enough Pubs left for a reasonable candidate to thrive.
