Teddy reelected in 1912 ist the following scenario plausible?

Hello guys,

during my travels across the internet I stumbled upon this. Further investigation revealed that somebody thought it implausible due to logistical/political/military oversights.

Now I want to know from YOU (yes, you) if it is plausible/possible and what you think about getting an ah-scenario in a newspaper.

Forget it.

If he is elected on the Progressive ticket then he is a President without a party, like Tyler or Andrew Johnson. Even if he somehow manages to get onto the Republican ticket (wildly unlikely), he will face a coalition of Democrats and antiwar Republicans, which in 1915 is still easily strong enough to block any war resolution. He might get America into the war two months earlier, but two years (or even one) is ASB.
 
It's pretty ASB. I'm surprised the most by the 10 million soldiers in the AEF, but then to go on and claim a European Union makes this pretty unbelievable
 
First I don't see how TR sells a declaration of war to the Congress and the American people in 1915. I do agree if Germany was occupied at the end of WWI then Hitler would not have the stabbed in the back argument. I also agree if WWI ends in 1915 then the Communists do not come to power.
I don't see how this happens, unless you have the German unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Telegram happening in 1915.

Keep in mind that whatever happens in Russia, the Tsar will go at some point - He's just too hopeless to succeed in the long run - and whatever replaces him will be a dictatorship of some sort. Given Russian history, any sort of "democracy" will be even shorter-lived than the Weimar Republic.

TTL, however, the dictatorship may be of the right rather than the left. So maybe we still get a Hitler, but a Slav one rather than a German. Perhaps the Holocaust takes place in Russia instead.
