Do you think Dubya would be considered too liberal by today's GOP?

The GOP just nominated Donald Trump, a registered Democrat from the entire Bush years, a top donor to Hillary Clinton, a longtime backer of universal healthcare and expanded infrastructure spending, and a foreign policy isolationist.  You can argue Trump is to the right of W due to immigration, trade, etc., but one could just as easily make the opposite case.  But the short answer in my mind is no, he wouldn't be seen as too liberal by today's GOP.

No, Trump is far more liberal than W if we take it on a conventional, issue-by-issue basis.

What matters far more to the GOP today is kicking @ss as opposed to specific policy positions.  A high-energy Jeb Bush (lol) could easily have blasted Donald Trump despite having very different positions.

Keep in mind that W has a very high favorability rating among registered Republicans.
