"I get asked on a regular basis, 'Boy, why aren't you running this year?' I ask myself that a lot too. But I did that once," Romney said.
He made self-deprecating jokes about his loss to President Barack Obama in 2012, borrowing a line from Democrat Walter Mondale, who lost to Ronald Reagan in the 1984 presidential election: "All my life I wanted to run for president in the worst way, and that's what I did."
He laughed about how much fun he had running in the 2012 race, encouraging the audience at an event hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, "If you get the chance to run for president, do it."

Because then Trump would have kicked 17 to the curb instead of 16.

Because he would have been crushed like a bug just like he was in 2012.
Nobody wanted you, Mitt. We only voted for you to vote against Obama.

Because it’s cheaper to get your butt rhetorically kicked, and political future ended, for running your mouth than it is to set up a whole campaign just for the very same outcome.

One reason he stayed out is that Trump would have whipped his ass like a red headed step child.
