Biggest RINO and DINO presidents 1990 to now?

Teddy Roosevelt served from 1901-1909, fyi, well before 1990

I suspect m4567 meant, “1900 to now”.

Going back further in history, Zachary Taylor and William Henry Harrison were WINOs, and Rutherford B. Hayes was a bit of a RINO.

How were Taylor and Harrison WINOs? I know that John Tyler was a WINO and I guess Hayes was a RINO on reconstruction.

It's kind of hard to be an "INO" president, since the president is generally very important in defining what the party stands for. The one president who really stands out to me is Carter, who had relatively little influence in Congress, was a bit to the right of the national Democratic Party, and who came reasonably close to losing re-nomination.

Going back further in history, Zachary Taylor and William Henry Harrison were WINOs, and Rutherford B. Hayes was a bit of a RINO.

How so with regards to Hayes?

I’m guessing Reconstruction.

James Madison was definitely a DINO on the National Bank and tariffs.

If the term had existed back then, Eisenhower would most definitely have been called a RINO, as Taft and the conservative wing of the Republican Party absolutely despised his moderate-to-liberal policies.

The National Review started in 1955. I wonder what it said about Eisenhower at the time. I know the John Birch Society claimed that Eisenhower was a communist agent.

I wonder if there were ever any FINOs (Federalists In Name Only).
