Republicans won six in a row in the industrial age. Except for Grover Cleveland, they won every election from Dred Scott to Woodrow Wilson

Lincoln 1860, 1864
Grant 1868, 1872
Hayes 1876
Garfield 1880

B. Harrison 1888

McKinley 1896, 1900
Teddy Bear 1904
Taft 1908

They only lost 1912 because they split in two. If Roosevelt had taken the nomination, they'd've had another 20 year hold on the White House. Pretty impressive. All it took was for the opposition party to bog down in the swamps of racist-enabling and attachment to a radical ideology.
