Think Teddy and Eleanor were from the progressive wing of the Roosevelt clan. FDR from the classical liberal wing.

No, FDR was a lefty but TR wasn't.

FDR and his wife were ELITISTS; TR wasn't!

Teddy Roosevelt fought against the GOPers of his era; FDR and his wife WERE the elitists!

Some people keep trying to smear Teddy with the "progressive" brush, but judging past times through today's eyes just doesn't really work, unless one sticks to very clear and distinct measures.
