For former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the story of 2016 could have been third time's a charm or déjà vu all over again. Alas, neither will come true.
The two-time candidate released a statement on Friday saying he will not run for president a third time in 2016.
We understand if you're disappointed. You've just lost two more years of Romney trying to look human as he talks to regular people, and you'll never again see that tight-lipped Romney smile he saves for moments when a fellow candidate says something he despises during a debate.
