CLEVELAND, Ohio — Last Sunday former Governor Bob Taft III endorsed Sen. Sherrod Brown over Bernie Moreno. Taft was the last Republican to have beaten Brown back in 1990 when Brown was seeking reelection as Secretary of State.
Taft endorsing Brown is likely to have MAGA Trumplicans tagging Taft as a ‘RINO’ (Republican in name only). The former Governor’s actually an authentic real Republican like Lincoln, Reagan and scion to one of the biggest Republican names not only in Ohio but the entire nation.
Former Governor Taft is the great-grandson of former U.S. President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft. He’s also the grandson and son of two U.S. Senators for Ohio, Robert Taft and Robert Taft Junior.
Sen. Robert Taft served 1939-1953 and was succeeded by former Cleveland Mayor Thomas Burke. Sen. Robert Taft Jr. served one term in the U.S. Senate and was succeeded in 1976 by Howard Metzenbaum.

In his Sunday endorsement, former Governor Taft noted the importance of Sen. Sherrod Brown’s seniority in several U.S. Senate committees and his demonstrated willingness to work across the aisle for the greater good of Ohio and the nation.
An example of that bipartisanship highlighted by Taft was Sen. Brown and Rep. Mike Turner of Dayton working together for the benefit of Dayton and the Wright-Patterson Air Force base.

“Although not in agreement with Senator Brown on every policy issue, I believe Ohioans very much need a highly effective, experienced advocate in the U.S. Senate — someone who is squarely focused on both Ohio’s and American needs.”

Taft like Sen. Romney being tagged ‘Republican In Name Only’? Right, only real Republican names like Reagan and George Voinovich, who Taft shared a ticket with. Not Trumplican names like Dictator, Fascist, Putin, Kim Jong Un, Adolf Hitler and his generals.
This week, Fox News showed photos of the many U.S. Presidents who had been labeled as “Fascists” by opponents like Trump. They’re some significant differences. Trump is the only one of them who instigated an insurrection attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop the transfer of power. Then said he would “Terminate the Constitution” and be a “Dictator on day one.” Also different is the fact that it was three four-star Generals who are conservative Republicans who warned Trump is a fascist and danger to democracy.

Cleveland Browns vs. New York Jets, November 9, 2025
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns fans were busy digging their heads in the sand on Sunday when their phones buzzed to give them more bad news.
Around the same time one Cleveland franchise became the first since 2013 to allow a kick return touchdown and punt return touchdown in the same quarter on Sunday, another became the first in its sport this century to have two players indicted on federal gambling charges. And it wasn’t even 2 o’clock Cleveland time.
