Yes very much so. Trump was more moderate, just on different issues than what most people judge GOPe orthodoxy by.

e.g. Suppose there's issues 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and the GOPe (like W) is traditionally conservative on issues 1-8 and moderate on issues 9-10.

Then Trump comes into town and is moderate on issues 1-6 and traditionally conservative on issues 7-10, that makes him more moderate in comparison.

Most people would jump to basing Trump's moderateness in comparison to the GOPe orthodoxy on issues 9-10, whereas you should really compare his moderateness overall on all the issues.
