Mike Pence should something happen  to President Trump, Otherwise, perhaps the next Dwight Eisenhower. The problem for Republicans is that that the last President to have the temperament of Dwight Eisenhower was Barack Obama.

This isn't the Game of Thrones universe where everything is destined to repeat itself in patterns ... how is that a "problem" for Republicans?  Obama can have the "temperament of Dwight Eisenhower," and there can still be a Republican in the next 10-20 years who does, as well.

Someone who is not a current politician. Everyone involved in federal politics during the Trump administration is either tainted or retiring.

They'll likely run and win in 2036. They'll have a prominent non-partisan career, in business, the military, or space. Possibly they'll have some (brief) prior political experience. They'll cultivate a moderate image, avoiding partisan warfare generally. They'll run very well among more moderate democratic voters, promising to safeguard the legacy of the prior democratic presidents without making further radical change.

They win by high single digits, and their coattails bring the GOP to parity or a bit above in Congress. The president is considerably more moderate than the Congressional GOP, and their conflicts and agendas lead to severe GOP losses in the midterms.

So, just to be clear (when added in with past posts you have made), you are predicting the GOP will have a near-historically disastrous next 50 years?

If Trump isnt reelected,

Nikki Haley ,  Ron DeSantis, or someone who gets elected in 2022
I doubt Nikki Haley will get out of a primary considering she pretends to be a moderate and republicans are getting increasingly extreme and want someone who "tells it like it is"

Meh, no one predicted that after 2012 the GOP would only ever nominate technocratic, pro-business New Englanders, and rightfully so.  There was an appetite for Trump in 2016’s climate, and now he’s the standard bearer (i.e., he’s going to continue to enjoy fiercely loyal support from Republican partisans until he no longer is).  I don’t know if it’s safe to assume all future nominees will have to be Trump types, and I also don’t think a future Republican nominee who also “tells it like it is” has to necessarily be like Trump, either ... I also don’t really think Haley pretends to be moderate.
