When does the GOP take back the White House?

2016-Provided they nominate a strong mainstream candidate(ex. someone like Christie, Rubio, Kaisch, or Walker)

I feel many of the Democrats on this forum are seriously underestimating the GOP's chances for 2016. Esp. considering that the White House typically typically changes hands every 8 years between parties. Even in more modern times elections like 1988 were an anomaly not a trend setter.

I also just don't see the Democrats holding the Presidency again in 2016 if Obama's approval ratings don't improve and his woes with the ACA continue.

Against Walker, Cruz, Paul not competetive
Against Jeb, Huck or even Rubio it will be competetive

I can understand against Cruz but why not against Walker or Paul?

Imo if these two make it out of the GOP primary it will because they demonstrated they have the ability to win and build a national movement to ensure victory much like Obama did for Progressives in 2008. Not because these candidates had the backing of the base(which is a straw man argument)

Your wrong on Huck-after 2012 he is clearly damaged goods.
