I personally think that a moderate Republican will be the next President. In a democracy the candidate has to appeal to the electorate not just the true believers who are often blinded by passion and ideology.

This is what I had hoped for in Romney, but it didn't happen. In my opinion, he had everything going for him - proven leadership skills, integrity,political experience, and not so far right that he couldn't appeal to the masses. In other words, not a lot of baggage and very capable. What happened? I don't know, but I know it has caused me to lose hope that the Republicans will ever be able to come up with an "acceptable" candidate....note the quotes, meaning not necessarily acceptable to me, but to the masses.
