I would argue Wilson was the most left-wing of the three major candidates in 1912.

No doubt that is so, but you wouldn't have known it from listening to Wilson and the DNC's lying *sses. The Progressive's official platform was certainly the worst of the 3 parties.

The worst part about Wilson's legacy is that there are useful idiots in the GOP who do the mainstream media and Democrats dirty for them, repeating the history revisionism BS that "the Democrats were the conservative party back then".

A handful of right-of-center RATs in the one party solid south certainly didn't make them "the conservative party" nationally. Wilson would have never gotten his marxist agenda passed if there weren't numerous other "progressive" RATs in the House, Senate, and SCOTUS to do his bidding (especially Louis Brandeis, Champ Clark, and J. Hamilton Lewis).
