Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Taft was less progressive than they had hoped.

Explanation:

William Howard Taft was the 27th President of the United States. He was chosen by former President Theodore Roosevelt to continue his legacy, but during his first and only term of office, Republicans were divided because he was less progressive than they had hoped. During the elections of 1912, he was defeated by President Woodrow Wilson, mainly because the Republican party was divided into the Progressive Bull Moose Party (that sided with Theodore Roosevelt and wanted progressive policies) and the Republicans that sided with Taft.
