AHC: Wilson doesn't have stroke, third term in 1920?

Let's say that Wilson isn't permanently incapicitated (the textbook case for the 25th IOTL) by his 1918 stroke. Despite the League, can he ride peace and prosperity to a third term in 1920?
 
Well, he's royally pissed off Irish-Americans, German-Americans and progressives (not just the Sedition Act- Wilson was an economic Bourbon), but those groups are not going to vote for the GOP. Perhaps a quickie 19th Amendment ratification in 1919 gets the Progressives and female voters back onside? Wilson v. Harding would yield the same blowout results as OTL 1920, 1924 or 1928, but for the Dems.

Now why would anyone want Wilson to have a third term. Wouldn't it be nicer if someone wrote a TL Theodore Roosevelt wins in 1912 and has five terms all together. Now that would be a Utopia. :D:D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p:p:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Why should such a ratification make any particular difference? Harding was not unpopular with women, afaik. California and Washington, traditionally Progressive states where women already did vote, chose him over Cox by margins of around three-to-one, while Wisconsin, another female suffrage state, did so by well over four to one!!! There is not the slightest reason to think that having Wilson on the ticket instead would have made any change you could detect without a microscope.

The Dems are in precisely the same situation as OTL, but without even the modest benefit of having a new face as their candidate. Wilson. of course, has always been popular down south, so he might hang on to Tennessee, while perhaps losing Kentucky instead; but I can't think of any other states even remotely likely to switch columns.
 
I think without Wilson's stroke the issue of the League and the Treaty of Versailles would be dragged into the 1920 election, perhaps becoming one of the prominent issues. Wilson was simply not willing to compromise or give up on the idea of the League of Nations and too many people were opposed to it for him to have successfully run for a 3rd term.
