2) There's no path to the White House for him. Support in Iowa? No way. Support in NH? A smidge. South Carolina? None. Florida? Yes, some. What does that look like? Right, Rudy's path to the WH (i.e., all-in on Florida).
3) Donors fleeing. Jeb entering the race was not a good thing for CC.
4) Lots of baggage - Romney people vetted him and said "no way" (Halpern).
5) At this point, he wouldn't even carry his own state against Hillary.

Good analysis. I would just add that anyone not named Bush or Rubio depending on a win in Florida is up against it.
