6. From Taft to Trump in 100 years.

No wonder Portman is jumping ship. At this rate I wonder if Mike DeWine (who turns 75 next year) will even run for re-election. DeWine has deviated somewhat from mainstream Republican orthodoxy with his endorsement of red flag gun restrictions and COVID public health orders -the conservative backlash was so strong his health department director had to resign!

The Ohio Republican Party is no longer the same party that produced President William Howard Taft, Senator and Attorney General William Saxbe (the Attorney General during Nixon's final months), and Cleveland Mayor/Governor/Senator George Voinovich.
