I think it will be Scott Walker. He is a Governor and Republicans seem to like going for Governors. Paul Ryan is dead to the GOP after his budget which they hate. lol.

Walker can show some accomplishments (bad accomplishments, but still more than most of the other idiots).

It fits the template- executive, law enforcement, budgets, etc.

I think it will be Rand Paul

It will be even more important if the Supreme Court rules against recess appointments.
