Eisenhower and Ford are RINOs too as are both Bushes. The only non-RINO is Coolidge and Reagan*
* The idea of Reagan not the actual president.

You might think Warren Harding would still be a true Republican, given his devotion to whisky, cronyism, and letting oil companies run wild. Unfortunately for his GOP purity, he rates RINO status for supporting drastic federal overreach in the form of an anti-lynching bill (which more conservative elements defeated). Whatever his other faults, Harding was by far the strongest civil rights president between the two Roosevelts, and possibly the strongest between Grant and FDR.
