That was a wild election! Why didn't TR run again, after that?


I think you meant to say why *did* he run again.

He ran again because he was pissed at taft, as was the Progressive wing of the Republican Party at the time.  Roosevelt challenged taft at the 1912 GOP convention, but Taft won the nomination narrowly.  So, TR formed his own progressive party and ran for President.

No why didn't he keep building up the Progressive Party after 1912.

He should have picked LaFollette as his running mate in 1912, and kept him from endorsing Wilson.

Oh.  LaFollette didn't run until 1924, when TR was dead...
