Mugwump

Mugwumps were Republicans who supported Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the 1884 United States presidential election.

They were often portrayed as "fence-sitters" with part of their body on the side of the Democrats and the other on the side of the Republicans. The term Mugwump is a combination of mug and wump, which means respectively the face and the backside.
