I’m no expert on him. He did some good things but also went overboard in office. His 1904 dem opponent Judge Alton Parker was a Bourbon democrat and may have been an ok prez (he was a loyal party man and backed socialist Bryan though).
In 1912 he lost his mind and campaigned as a rank socialist. Still he got most of the GOP vote! and allowed Wilson to win. Wilson campaigned as a conservative, he lied.
BHO and Hill (and the other also ran rats) named him their favorite Republican President of the 20th Century.
Taft in ‘12.
