Theodore Roosevelt originally planned to sit out the 1912 election and wait for 1916. But he later changed his mind and unsuccessfully challenged President Taft in 1912. After being denied the Republican nomination, he ran on the Progressive ticket and came in second place to Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt never ran for President again and he died in 1919. But what if he had stuck to his original plan and decided not to run in 1912?
