William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt were friends. Roosevelt hand-picked Taft to succeed him as President. But as Taft ran his administration and policies against those of Roosevelt, it caused Roosevelt to feel betrayed. TR formed the Progresssive Bull Moose Party and ran against Taft in 1912, splitting the vote, and allowing the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, to become President.
