I found “Ted Roosevelt V’s” Twitter page today. He’s an even bigger douche than his daddy. I think he likes calling himself a “proud TR Republican” for the SOLE purpose of bashing ALL other Republicans, especially Trump. Like Colon Bowel, I can’t find a SINGLE remark from the guy that actually SUPPORTS any Republican policy.

At least this guy has the excuse of being five generations removed from his famous namesake. Will Miller’s daughter used to host some “Progressive” talk show on Airhead America, where she’d routinely lie about her daddy “was a moderate and would be appalled by how crazy right the Republicans are today” (sorry dear, your dad was very conservative and that’s of the reasons Barry Goldwater got bashed as “too extreme” for picking him as a running mate!)

In any case, I hate to break it to “Ted Roosevelt V” but your great-great-granddaddy, as “Progressive” as he was, never would have cheered on men dressed as woman going the bathroom with little girls, or routinely “retweeted” crap from the likes of Joe Biden.

Another intersting trivia fact: I think you guys rightfully give Teddy Roosevelt hell for his vanity campaign in 1912 that split the GOP vote and inflicted Woody Wilson on America, but lefties trying to claim Teddy as one of their own forget that Wilson ran to his LEFT and Teddy denounced Wilson's plans to nationalize the railroad industry as "rank socialism".

After he saw what harm Wilson did to America, Teddy returned to the GOP fold in 1916, endorsed AND campaigned vigoriously for Charles Evans Hughes, saying Wilson was a disaster and it was imperative to defeat him. Teddy Roosevelt died a staunch Republican and was no fan of his distant cousin Franklin.

For that reason alone, I think Teddy would challenge his little snot-nosed great-great-grandson to a boxing match, and beat the snot out of him for spewing AOC's talking points and endorsing the likes of Joe Biden.

Miller may have been conservative but he seems to have been a rather uninspired choice.

Goldwater is said to have said of Miller “He drives Johnson nuts”. I read someone that Johnson or a staffer claimed that in fact Johnson didn’t or barely knew who Miller was, I find that believable as I don’t know of any great heroics by Miller that would have drawn ire. I also read that his attitude on the campaign trail was one of joking around with reporter scum whilst being resigned to inglorious defeat.

Wiki references some book that listed other potential candidates, like Claire Booth Luce and Former CT Governor and movie actor John Davis Lodge (brother of Henry Cabot Lodge Jr).

George Wallace was also said to be interested but was politely told to f off.
