1. Carly on the ticket will always serve as a reminder of Trump's "vicious personal attack" on her.

2. Carly aligned herself with Cruz at the peak of the Trump/Cruz battle.

3. Carly battled with Trump and lost, and Trump doesn't take to "losers" well.

4. Carly is a (failed) business outsider, and Trump has repeatedly said he wants someone who knows Washington well as his veep.

5. She brings nothing new to the ticket, as her background is similar to Trump's, but considerably less accomplished. No foreign policy experience, no energy background. In other words, she doesn't shore up any of Trump's perceived "weaknesses".
