A little over 100 years ago the massively popular party enemy #1 T.R. was running roughshod over the republican convention.


Also a fan of executive action over congressional consent. And the son of a wealthy father in new york.

And opposed by a Democratic party which was very much controlled (to a fault) by its machine.
