The 5 names from Niall Stanage are -
3 Senators: Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), and Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
and
2 Governors: John Kasich (R-Ohio) and Susana Martinez (R-New Mexico)
FReepers, any thoughts?

LOL....because Kasich proved to have so much traction last time around. [/s]
Honestly, this whole list is a joke. Cruz is the most viable, but he will probably wait to run again until Trump leaves office.

Was there this sort of talk going on in late 1981, early 1982 concerning Reagan? Were the GOPe back then thinking of challenging Reagan with some moderate RINO type?

Senators are RARELY ever elected to the Presidency, and typically are criminals...
The last two senators to become POTUS:
Barack ‘Muhammed’ Obama
John ‘Son of a Criminal’ Kennedy.
That covers the last 66 years...

Sasse and Kasich are possibilities. Sasse might realistically be setting himself up for 2024. Kasich just for vanity and vindication. Sasse will get Bill Bradley type numbers between 10 & 30% depending on state, if he runs a competent campaign.
Corker and Flake are not going anywhere. Flake barely registers in double digits in Arizona! Corker ran a pretty raw campaign against Harold Ford last time around, making him completely ineligible to attack Trump on campaigning style. Corker can’t win, and he cannot beat the pack in 2024.
Cruz made as much peace as he could with Trump, and is young enough to make a run in 2024 against Pence and a straight-RINO.

Yes, I do have thoughts on this. DJT is at his absolute best when fighting political hacks in the arena of an election. I’d pay good money to watch him destroy any or all of the walking cadaver mentioned in the article.

Flake told ABCs This Week that if the president did not change his approach, he is going to leave a huge swath of Marxist’s and Communist sympathizers looking for someone else.
there, fixed it.

I don't believe there's any chance whatsoever that Cruz will make a primary challenge - Trump is doing most of what Cruz would have tried to do had he become president. There's no real disagreement on policy and Cruz has behaved pretty maturely in realizing that and working with Trump in the Senate, unlike guys like Flake.
I think it'd be hilarious if Flake actually made a primary attempt - he'd certainly get backing from the Bill Kristol/George Will types, but he'd lose. Badly.

The Trump Presidency has been successful in Year one.At the end of Obama's presidency, there were "0" successes in any category....only illegal executive orders...like DACA.

Wishful thinking by the establishment, or is it desperation ?
It's all they have.

A primary win by any of them would result in a Democrat president and probably give them Congress because I know I would stay home on election day and never vote again until a 2nd party rises up to challenge the progressive UniParty.

Rand Paul is the only GOP figure with any chance of beating Trump in a primary, and:
A: He wont run against Trump.
B: Even if he did, he lacks the gravitas to stand on a debate stage with Trump and land any significant punches.
The rest of the GOP wimp-a-thon has no shot in 2020.
