Cmon now. People are plenty fucking stupid enough to vote for Chris Christie for president.
Sad thing is the only person on that vague and unqualified list who truly doesnt have a chance is Mitt Romney. American republicans have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt there is nobody too low for them, and Romney turned his back on the Fuehrer.
You know there will be people, even those who arent on that list, who will gladly sell their soul's for those precious, precious, stupid, stupid voters.
Romney has already lost a campaign, and unlike Trump, he didnt have to swim upstream against a once-in-a-century pandemic. Or race riots. Or an openly biased and censoring media landscape. Furthermore, he represents a direction of the party that voters had already resoundingly rejected before Trump even became president.

That's way too many candidates who have absolutely no chance. Of your list, I'd say the following will run: Haley, Noem, Rubio, Cruz, Paul (lol), and Cotton. The rest are way past their prime.
Good list, but I would add DeSantis to it. He handled covid far better than the national media gives him credit for, he has high approvals in his state, he's good at coalition building and seems like a guy who can appeal to the Trump crowd and the suburban housewives at the same time.
Haley will imho struggle appealing to rural whites, Cotton will struggle to appeal to anyone but evangelicals, Cruz is so unlikable he'd have trouble appealing to his own mother, and I'm very sceptical about Noem's ability to appeal to urban or suburban voters. Rubio... if he can fix his robotic tendencies and build a brand of his own, I can see him be a strong candidate.
