Let's say Wilson doesn't suffer his stroke while campaigning for the League.  Meanwhile Teddy doesn't suffer from his otl health issues.

Wilson is able to twist the arms of delegates and use his position as incumbent President to control the convention, narrowly securing renomination to a third term on the first ballot.

Meanwhile, TR is able to use his popularity to gain the Republican nomination after riding a wave of victories in the primaries and reaching out to party regulars to finally heal the wounds from his "betrayal" in 1912 (as much as possible at least).

Discuss + maps would be appreciated

A dead raccoon would beat Wilson in 1920

Pretty much, although the lack of whisper campaigns about his wife running the show post-stroke (stroke being butterflied) might allow him to at least maintain a core of supporters within his own party.

What would be TR's position on the League of Nations?
