Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 would have been an absolute. He would've gotten us into the useless quagmire that was World War I from day one, with a crackdown on civil liberties and a xenophobic panic that would have made Wilson's administration look like a libertarian paradise.
To add a name of my own: we would have been substantially better off if Lincoln kept Hamlin on for a second term. George Clinton and DeWitt Clinton also come to mind. Henry Clay and George McGovern would have been mediocre presidents, putting them miles ahead of the men they lost to.
