What if William Howard Taft had won re-election in 1912?

I think the world would be a very different and much better place.

Theodore Roosevelt would've gone to war even quicker than Wilson did, but Taft would have kept us out of the World War. There would've been bombings of millions of Japanese people, no Holocaust, no WWII, no U.N., and there would've been no cold war.

William Howard Taft governed as more of a statist than his son and Dr. Paul did, but he wasn't as statist as his opponents.

Ironically, Taft and Theodore Roosevelt broke with each other because the latter thought that U.S. Steel was a good trust.

Who doesn't think that everything would've been better had Taft not been dealt a stunning defeat?

Obviously the world would end if Howard won.

That requires a lot of imagination. For one I would not have been born had Taft won that election, you either, so I'll say it was a good thing Wilson won.

We'd all be speaking a mix of German and Russian as WW1 Germany would have grown tired of the Western European stalemate, invaded Russia and swept into North America. Meanwhile the Russian Commies would have risen up, defeated the Gerrmans, and taken over North America by default.

If my existence depended on Wilson winning, then I really fucking wish Taft had won.

I'm looking for a safe, painless way out because I'm retarded. I can only be a leech since I'm retarded so I should die for that... knowing that I can never help myself or anyone else makes me want to die.

What if your aunt had balls?

Would she be your uncle?


All this "what if" bullshit is silly.

You COULD always just stop posting. It won't make you less retarded...but you'll incur less harassment about it.

The world you live within is strange to me.
