He staunchly challenged President Roosevelt and made his personal mission in stopping Roosevelt's reelection. But being a lackluster public speaker, Robert Taft failed to garner much support against Roosevelt; however, he managed to inspire a young Junior Senator, Noah Grace, who in turn became President and achieved Taft's purpose in keeping America out of foreign affairs.
