Roosevelt lost because JP Morgan owned most of the media at the time and bought Wilson his Presidency in exchange for signing the Federal Reserve Act, actually.
I think that statement is speculative, since the act was signed when Roosevelt was still president.
Do you think Wilson and JP Morgan made a deal when he bailed out the nation?
The Federal Reserve Act was passed by the 63rd United States Congress and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on December 23, 1913. The law created the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States.

Aldrich-Vreeland Act on May 30, 1908
Also, JP Morgan himself didn't bail out the US, if you want to get technical, he locked a bunch of bankers into his private estate and made them front the bill.

Yea. Roosevelt was the first progressive president. Although not elected he was the first to run off progressive principles.
Also, it's all speculative the fed reserve was a banker scheme. But I wont reject it, because it's a genuine conspiracy theory.
To the OP... can you refute anything he has pointed out?

Already did in the first line of my OP .

We can discuss the prelude when the battle is over .

Both 'sides' are guilty here, just look at this list you compiled. I don't want to take any sides, I'd rather take a apolitical stance on this one. How about addressing one of the main problems.
The divide of a nation perhaps? Both sides are claiming either side are fascists... what?

Let me see...
The Progressive movement started up in the 1890's...
************************************************************
According to historian William Leuchtenburg: The Progressives believed in the Hamiltonian concept of positive government, of a national government directing the destinies of the nation at home and abroad. They had little but contempt for the strict construction of the Constitution by conservative judges, who would restrict the power of the national government to act against social evils and to extend the blessings of democracy to less favored lands. The real enemy was particularism, state rights, limited government.
*************************************************************
First Progressive President was Woodrow Wilson...
Actually, the Fascists have been coming for a long time.

#2 - The Patriot Act - will try and locate more info but I'm pretty sure that secret torture sites, not within the homeland, were determined to be operating around the world under the guise of 'war against terrorism' in the years following 9/11.
#6 - Remember Roger Stones early morning arrest, then in shackles in the court hearing then released on a $250K bond?
I think ALL the boxes have been ticked in your list there actually. Even prior to Trump being sworn in, it became apparent to me who the real enemy is, how they get their cover and what their agenda is.
The platform that the dems are running on now wasn't even a blip on the radar when Hillary was going to be POTUS - thats how deceptive the cult is.
They cannot be allowed to gain control of the oval office ever again.

The combined a liberal viewership of CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC . Are larger than FOX and majority signifies take over.
The exact same principles apply to your position on private schools . Many of who are liberal also .
Well in all seriousness. You have the POTUS telling people that every news network is 'Fake news', and pushed for Fox being the only unbiased source.

Both Roosevelt and Taft beat him to the office.

I will have to pass on Taft, not sure.
But Teddy was an American icon that loved the USA. He did not appear to hate the US and wasn't wanting to destroy the things that brought us so far forward to freedom and justice for all. Tweak it not trash it was Teddy. He was about Americans and making this a great land to live for our Citizens and for the US to stand for fairness in the World where we could have an influence.
In the early 20th century, politicians of the Democratic and Republican parties, Lincoln–Roosevelt League Republicans (in California) and Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party all pursued environmental, political, and economic reforms. Chief among these aims was the pursuit of trust busting, the breaking up very large monopolies, and support for labor unions, public health programs, decreased corruption in politics, and environmental conservation.
The Progressive Movement enlisted support from both major parties (and from minor parties as well). One leader, Democrat William Jennings Bryan, had won both the Democratic Party and the Populist Party nominations in 1896. At the time, the great majority of other major leaders had been opposed to Populism. When Roosevelt left the Republican Party in 1912, he took with him many of the intellectual leaders of progressivism, but very few political leaders. Source
