TR was not a Conservative. His hatred for Conservatism was such that he sabotaged President Taft’s reelection to foist the Marxist Wilson on America. Warren Harding, conversely, was a great Conservative President. Cut spending, cut taxes, cut government and unleashed the prosperity of the 1920s that was in the doldrums under Wilson. No GOP President in 100 years since has achieved that (not Reagan or Trump).
Roosevelt was the first of the people, not party, presidents that have been attacked for not being a conservative party worshipper. He didn’t agree with the business as usual effort. He wanted change. He was very popular with the people vote in the primaries:
What was afoot in Chicago failed to reflect the party’s true spirit, Roosevelt argued. Taft’s poor showing in the primaries — which were held for the first time — indicated that most Republicans preferred T.R.’s progressive platform over his rival’s more conservative approach.
All in all, La Follette won 36 primary delegates, Taft 48 and Roosevelt 278. However, 36 of the 48 states did not hold primaries; their delegates were chosen at statewide conventions, where, for the most part, the GOP “regulars” favored Taft.
“His hatred for Conservatism was such that he sabotaged President Taft’s reelection to foist the Marxist Wilson on America.”
As the convention opened, the Roosevelt and Taft forces appeared to be evenly matched. A battle over delegate credentials ensued, with Taft emerging victorious, and Roosevelt claiming that several delegations had been fraudulently seated.
“No GOP President in 100 years since has achieved that (not Reagan or Trump).”
You may want to look up Trump’s economy swing and check to see how he did it.
Trump in may ways a lot like Roosevelt. He hated the liberal party and he strongly dislike the lameness of the conservatives. He wanted improvement and not just business as usual. And for that his own party went after him. That was why Roosevelt left them and was approached by a third party and made president by the people. Same thing with Trump only he stayed to repair the party and Roosevelt left it. And you can see how Trump was treated by his own party for staying.
Roosevelt’s ideas for the party were so good he was voted in for his ideas as a third party. In all realities, so was Trump.
