I mean Teddy Roosevelt was never someone who was really backed by the GOP establishment. He was only put in as VP because the Republicans thought that would be the best possible way to appease his base and sideline him at the same time.

Also despite the fact he was a progressive he utterly despised Woodrow Wilson and his side of the family went on to despise FDR too. I would actually say Teddy Roosevelt was more of a populist than he was a progressive and Wilson 100% fit the progressive label far more.
