I'm thinking that, despite the myriad of other reasons, Teddy's Progressive Party lost, in part, due to the perception that he was challenging the "no third term" rule of established American politics. But could there have been a chance for the Bull Moose Party to win in 1912 had Roosevelt lost the election in 1904 to Alton B. Parker? This way, if he so chose, Roosevelt could have run for office in 1912 on the Progressive Party ticket without breaking the rule about no third term of office.
Also, what effect, if any, would the Bull Moose Party have had on American politics had it survived, not only through The Great War, but also through World War 2 up to the present day?
