Even while nominally a Whig as President, John Tyler was really a Democrat and was expelled from the Whig Party and then became a Democrat.

No he didn't. Tyler was known as the "man without a party" after the Whigs expelled him because they would not renominate him. Nor would the Democrats take him. Tyler belonged to neither party.
