The remains of the Progressive Party tried to nominate him again in 1916, but Roosevelt told them that the best thing Progressives could do was back Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican who ran against and lost to Woodrow Wilson that year. At the time of his death, Roosevelt was laying the groundwork to run for the Republican nomination again in 1920. Most people believe that had he lived, he would probably have won a third term at last, and the Republicans would have become the liberal party after all.

Roosevelt is often ranked among the top five presidents, despite not being associated with any major wars.

Today, candidates of both parties quote him endlessly.
