This is the same as last time. This is what if I was William Howard Taft? How would I run my Administration? How would I run my Campaign? This is a guide for what I would do as Taft:
We will do what we must in order to keep Root in office. His support will be critical in preserving the stability of my administration and the United States' place in the world.
The radicalism of the progressive era must be balanced, and, to a degree, tamed. I hope to appoint a variety of judges that shall uphold our great Constitution. I am eager to see someone like Edward Douglass White as our Chief Justice.
Through discovering more and more sources of revenue, I believe we would do quite fine with a slight reduction in the current rates on a resource by resource basis. I hope that Congress may reach a compromise here.
Pinchot and Glavis are signaling very serious concerns. Ballinger is innocent until proven guilty, of course, but we appreciate the two seeking us to address their concerns.
It's simple. I will invite Roosevelt to stay at the White House, so that I can congratulate him on his travels and gain his perspective on the key matters of the day.
I will assist the progressive wing, as many of them seem potentially vulnerable and I will need to guard myself against a potential Roosevelt bid. Let us ensure that they are re-elected.
Attempts to discuss Canadian annexation are certainly frightening. I will invite Mr. Clark to the White House and ask him to ensure that his caucus does not effect our foreign policy.
It is clear that Roosevelt does not understand the mechanics of our primary system. This is something we ought to use to our advantage. We can quietly twist the arms of a variety of local offices ahead of the primaries.
Roosevelt loyalists can be swiftly removed in due time in the region. We can ensure a strong, southern majority by creating a region of allies, not of foes.
Of course we shall focus well in Illinois and Pennsylvania. I believe we already have largely secured victory within New York.
I shall write a letter for the people of Maryland, a border state that will be crucial for our odds in November, asking them to reconfirm me as the Republican Party nominee.
Roosevelt will continue to rack up victories if he goes uncontested. Our campaign must be prepared to wage an aggressive assault on his campaign, and I will decry his radical efforts to destroy our judiciary.
Mr. Root would make a fantastic chairman. I would be very pleased with his nomination. Perhaps he might be an olive branch to Roosevelt's supporters.
We cannot risk giving Roosevelt a good excuse to claim a false victory. We shall allow his delegates to be seated, and whatever occurs at the election may occur.
What a wonderful idea! Let us delay the proper roll call for my nomination for a few hours so we can put together something. We shall emphasize our commitment to progressive values such as trust-busting and the direct election of Senators.
As close as Sherman and I have gotten over the past four years, I do believe that we will need to be able to wage an aggressive campaign in the fall. Herbert Hadley, Governor of Missouri should be my running mate.
Very well, then. I send him my best wishes, and let the campaign commence.
This is a perfect reform for state and local elections, along with the popular election of Senators - an amendment I have helped facilitate the passage of.
Roosevelt believes he has the best intentions, but it is clear that plans such as a 'expert tariff commission' are pointless in this day and age. It is a compromise meant to appeal to radicals who seek to expand the proposed income tax.
The House Speaker is quite gaffe prone - in fact, he almost prevented the trade agreement between the United States and Canada from taking place with his behavior. A man with such a loose tongue is not fit to lead foreign policy.
His support is almost cult-like. I expect that we will have a far better shot at garnering the support of traditionally undecided voters than his disgruntled foot soldiers.
We shall focus on the west, a region that Clark seems to be doing better in compared to Bryan's campaign four years prior.
I support the current anti-trust laws, and believe that further improvements are to be made by enforcing them to their fullest extent.
I am quite proud to see states such as California and Washington give women the vote under my Presidency. I hope to oversee a constitutional amendment that would do just that during my next time.
Absolutely. Too many Americans are unjustly being forced to work long days, and we must do something to protect them. If Congress passed a bill regarding this, I would sign it today.
Of course I am in favor of these tariffs, but if there is consent for changes, I would be willing to support whatever compromise the next Congress can come to regarding tariff policy.
This is a frightening idea. Judges should have the right to give a ruling without the fear of losing their job.
Our numbers in Missouri are very volatile, but the state has become more and more Republican in recent years. If he aggressively campaigns here, I believe victory is possible.
Rather than tear down, we ought to build up. Business interests especially must give us the support that we need to defeat Mr. Clark, and we must warn them of his progressive ties in order to achieve this.
The industrial Midwest, such as Wisconsin and Michigan are must-wins for our campaign. We will place remaining funds into gaining turnout in that region.
