Yep. Eisenhower. And the last time two presidential candidates agreed with most of each other's positions was during the Nixon-Kennedy debates. But even after that in the mid-to-late 1960s Robert Kennedy and Ronald Reagan had a debate and not only were they civil and respectful toward each other, but they mostly agreed with the other's positions.
