Bloomberg Out

The threat of a viable third party run has been largely eliminated now that Bloomberg says that he will not run for President.

This leaves two Democrats (Clinton and Sanders) and four Republicans (Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Kaisch) left with still functioning campaigns, half of whom (Sanders, Rubio and Kaisch) are already long shot underdogs.

The general election is now very likely to be either a Clinton v. Trump or a Clinton v. Cruz race. Both of those matchups favor Clinton.
