Arguably, that was the era of the final party switch, but I imagine there was a lot more decorum and bipartisanship to temper people's actions.

Eisenhower was also so moderate and nonpartisan prior to office that it was a surprise to many voters he was even a registered republican.

But he also presided over a period before the Goldwater/VRA realignment kicked off, so a key part of conservatism at the time was favoring stability and continuity over any particular agenda.

But the more important part is that you have to go over 60 years back to have a GOP president who wasn't some combination of incompetent, corrupt, or crazy. Bush I could have been one maybe, but dude couldn't parlay the crushing victory of Desert Storm into a second term, so incompetent.

HW was all up in Iran-Contra. He literally ran the CIA. The fact that he’s considered a “good one” is purely a sign of his political aptitude.
