William Howard Taft
Had stolen the Republican Nomination from Roosevelt who had then walked out with his supporters and ran under the Progressive Party Platform
He got the votes. Today's Republican Party is different from Truman's time. Even a little as 30-40 years ago the Republican Party was more moderate. Reagan wouldn't be elected today because he would be considered liberal by the Republicans in office today. Both parties have lost the focus of working for the common good of the country.
Woodrow Wilson
Theodore Roosevelt, when he ran against his Republican successor William Howard Taft in 1912. The Progressive Party was nicknamed the Bull Moose Party. The schism among Republicans allowed Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, to win.
