—I’m not that old either but ,yes, Teddy Roosevelt —the original RINO—gave the country Woodrow Wilson—IMHO the cause of most of the problems of the twentieth century-—

So, given the choice between a Progressive Republican (Roosevelt) or a Race Baiting Democrat (Wilson) ~ hmm.

And Taft lost?

Teddy Roosevelt was the Karl Rove of his day, deciding that the Howard Taft wing of his party wasn’t progressive enough, and so sabotaging it only to elect a socialist. That socialist, Wilson, gave us the income tax, direct election of Senators and prohibition. I would add voting by women to that list, but I would hear no end of it if I did.
