The Republicans would have to find a candidate who a) doesn't have severe drawbacks and b) is so desperate to be the nominee that they're comfortable starting a campaign from scratch in late July.

I can't think of anybody in their ranks who's both untainted and stupid enough to ruin that untainted status by becoming the consolation prize of 2016. Surely that candidate, if s/he exists, would rather hang fire and wait for 2020?
