The first time, the Republicans split their votes between Taft and Teddy Roosevelt (3rd term was legal back then). The second time, it was close, but California gave him the reelection over Charles Evan Hughes.

Teddy Roosevelt wasn't going for a third term, he was going for a second after his magical mystery safari while Taft kept his seat warm.

Roosevelt didn't run for a term in 1908 because he personally believed he had taken two terms event though technically he would be allowed to run again today

I have to say that Wilson is one of my least favorite Presidents. He seems like the self-righteous killjoy type. In 1916, he campaigned against the U.S. entering WWI. But once the U.S. did enter, he signed unconstitutional laws which penalized people who spoke against the war. There are lots of other reasons to hate him as well. Too bad Teddy Roosevelt didn't get another shot.

Wilson was embarrassingly racist even by the standards of the 1910s, but he was also a good president in many other ways, even as opinions of him held by presidential historians seem to continually be revised down.

Keep in mind that Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and jailed people without trial during the Civil War. FDR oversaw the creation of Japanese concentration camps. So the guy who created the predecessor to the UN is in some... notable company.

Yeah, he was a terrible racist. Correct me if I'm wrong but he was the first president to ever screen a movie in the White House and the movie he screened... The Birth of a Nation.

That's actually why I got that one, because historical quotes of the form "We are about to finally do something for the first time in history" are famous either because they're of massive historical import, or because they're hilariously wrong. We obviously haven't "triumphed over poverty," so who would be the funniest President to make such a claim? The guy who screwed the pooch in the Great Depression, that's who.

Yes, "voter fraud organization," as in "organization to investigate voter fraud," something which is completely clear is you listen to more than just this one sentence taken out of context.
