Robert Taft

Robert Alphonso Taft (September 8, 1889 – July 31, 1953), of the Taft political family of Cincinnati, was a Republican United States Senator and a prominent conservative statesman. As the leading opponent of the New Deal in the Senate from 1939 to 1953, he led the successful effort by the conservative coalition to curb the legal privileges of labor unions, and was a major proponent of the foreign policy of non-interventionism.

Concerned over the Roosevelt administration over increasing trade between America and the UED, and believing that the Navy's maritime build-up in securing the Atlantic shipping lanes would leans more towards international political and military involvements, Taft staunchly challenged President Roosvelt. But being a terrible public speaker, Robert Taft failed to garnered or inspire anyone for his support against Roosevelt; however, he manages to inspire a young Junior Senator, Noah Grace.
