TR was quite hawkish for the war effort, once sinking of American ships began, he'd definitely have less restraint than Wilson. In 1916, the Republicans are probably happy with how he approaches the war issue, but the business wing would not be too happy with him embracing lots of progressive legislation, especially since the New Nationalism was much more progressive than Wilson's New Freedom. The business wing of the GOP definitely runs a candidate, which splits the 1916 vote and allows probably some type of internationalist Democrat to be elected, who obviously wouldn't repudiate the war effort, but would take steps following the war to ensure that another one doesn't happen.
