Annabelle Flores · Answer 1

The popular name "Bull Moose" comes from the characteristics of strength and vigor that Roosevelt has used to describe himself.

Explanation:

On one occasion, a man in Milwaukee shot him when he was going to give a speech. Roosevelt continued on his way saying that he had a bullet in his body but stating that "it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose" and that "he felt as strong as a Bull Moose".

Bull Moose Party (formally Progressive Party) nominated former president Theodore Roosevelt as its candidate in the presidential election of 1912. The ideology of this party openly confronted the conservative ideas of Republicans.

Answer: Roosevelt often said he felt as strong as a bull moose, therefore he made it the symbol.
