Who would've won in 1912, if you had your own way?

TR

Although I'm a Democrat (a 2012 Democrat, anyway), Wilson would have been my last choice.  I may agree with some of his economic policies, but he was too much of a racist Dixiecrat.

Taft, for the sake of GOP unity.

Going off the board with Eugene V. Debs. Roosevelt would have put this nation's economy in a recession by declaring war on Germany & Austria-Hungary the moment it started in 1914 with more and more debt having piled on, Taft was horrendous, & I'll never respect Wilson for what he did to the U.S. by entering the war and issuing the Espionage & Sedition Acts.

The biggest favor you could do for Taft, in his own words, would be to vote against him.

I'd have voted for TR. I don't honestly think he'd have gone in immediately as it might be suggested. He wouldn't have had the votes to get war anyway.

Teddy for sure, Wilson started the American decline into executive overreach (and was a serious racist loser). Taft was fat and lazy

Easily TR, both at the time and in hindsight.

You don't think Teddy would have expanded the powers of the executive?
