Could fourth time truly be the charm? Discuss with maps

There is no way on planet earth Bryan would lose under a split ticket, especially since Bryan got more votes than Wilson ever did. Roosevelt might hit 200 electoral votes, but that's it. I would go as far as to say that under a split ticket, any democrat would win that year. However that being said, the first map I can agree with though. What about a Taft only map?

Let's not forget, Alton Parker in 1904 got more votes than either Roosevelt or Taft did in 1912, by one million for Roosevelt and 1.5 for Taft. If Bryan can get Parker amount of votes, he is good.

Lets not forget Taft was a unpopular president so he might lose even in a one to one race

I would argue he could have won in 1896 if the republicans nominated anybody but McKinley
