I think it is gonna be very hard for the lying Ted. Little Marco probably has a decent chance though. Jim Jordan, nah, he has no charisma at all. Gowdy is an excellent speaker, and with regard to Ryan, agree that is the smartest of them all (after McTurtle of course). In fact, he would be my favorite choice from extreme Republicans.
Larry Hogan would be by far my favorite choice (though not likely it is gonna happen). In that case, the Democrats won't have any choice but go to the left in order to differentiate from a centrist Republican.
