Teddy Roosevelt: also a progressive and a hero of the Never Trumpers and RINO’s in general.
Today’s “progressives” are just scumbag Communists who have appropriated the name.
The Progressive Party that TR started had some great planks in their platform, like cracking down on crony capitalism and trusts, registering lobbyists, etc. but some real bad ones like Womens Suffrage and direct election of Senators.
All of the progressive Party’s positions were eventually adopted by the Democrat party, TR’s Progressive party disbanded in 1918, later reiterations were the beginning of the CPUSA, which is now in full control of the democrats.
