>> Sure, he'd become a progressive, but progressivism already existed.

And, at the time, we had not already witnesses the abject failure of progressivism as we have now.

No one knew that government couldn't handle, for example, health care -- that government's involvement in it would drive up health care costs making them spiral out of control. Now we know that. We had not seen the failure of Social Security then. We had not seen the War on Poverty -- which TR would absolutely not have supported -- destroy our cities and neighborhoods. And we had not seen progressives take the position that the end justifies the means even if it means the president breaks the law.

TR was an exceptional human being. He would not have supported the repetition of failed policies.
