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. Furthermore, Eisenhower wasn't really a member of either party before he ran in 1952, and there were many Democrats - notably left-wing senator Claude Pepper - who supported a "draft Eisenhower" movement encouraging the General to run for the Democratic nomination.
