Rudy said he left the 2008 race due to recovery issues from his cancer treatment. Hmmm. I do recall him doing very poorly in an early primary state. January of 2008, I believe.
Many were surprised he didn’t get more support.

That's pure horse feces. That was actually his excuse for dropping out of the 2000 Senate race against Hillary.

He was pro-open borders, pro-gun control, and pro-abortion and homosexual marriage in 2008. That and Ron Paul completely destroying him did him in.

From Wiki:

Despite his strategy, Giuliani competed to a substantial extent[186] in the January 8, 2008 New Hampshire primary but finished a distant fourth with 9 percent of the vote.[187] Similar poor results continued in other early contests, when Giuliani’s staff went without pay in order to focus all efforts on the crucial late January Florida Republican primary.[188] The shift of the electorate’s focus from national security to the state of the economy also hurt Giuliani,[185] as did the resurgence of McCain’s similarly themed campaign. On January 29, 2008, Giuliani finished a distant third in the Florida result with 15 percent of the vote, trailing McCain and Romney.[189] Facing declining polls and lost leads in the upcoming large Super Tuesday states,[190][191] including that of his home New York,[192] Giuliani withdrew from the race on January 30, endorsing McCain.[193]

Giuliani’s campaign ended up $3.6 million in arrears,[194] and in June 2008 Giuliani sought to retire the debt by proposing to appear at Republican fundraisers during the 2008 general election, and have part of the proceeds go towards his campaign.[194] During the 2008 Republican National Convention, Giuliani gave a prime-time speech that praised McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, while criticizing Democratic nominee Barack Obama. He cited Palin’s executive experience as a mayor and governor and belittled Obama’s lack of same, and his remarks were met with wild applause from the delegates.

Yeah current Democrat Charlie Crist endorsed John McCain who crushed Rudy in Florida.

If you want to celebrate that go ahead.
