Teddy Roosevelt ran as a third party candidate in 1912, after he lost his party's endorsement. However he went on to win more votes than Taft, the Republican nominee. Thus all party primaries soon became more democratic, were party members voted for their candidate, not just party elites. Also, Lincoln and the Republican party were a third party in the Antebellum era. Thus his party agenda directly influenced the nation after Lincoln was elected.
The Republican Party Platform was formed in 1956, 100 years after the Republican Party was formed. They are the Conservative political party in America.
