It wouldn't surprise me, assuming it is true. Even since Dubya ditched the fiction of being just a rancher who just luvved cutting brush, he has been pretty detached. To the extent he understood politics, it was all about money, power and the stupidity of the base. So when the primal forces in American politics like fascism(Trump), evangelicals(Cruz) and populism(Sanders) rise all at the same time, of course he is baffled. More so than usual usual, that is.

Granted, the Republicans have been courting the first two for decades and the Democrats have been whistling past the graveyard of the populists for longer than that. The first two are tired of being shut up and told what to do and the populists are starting to realize that a significant percentage of the population, if not a majority are actually in their camp. Much to the surprise of most anybody.
