No. She'd be a Republican. She also would never have gotten a presidential nomination. (But if we had a parliamentary system, she probably would have been able to win the Republican Party leadership, being chosen by the House Republican caucus. She'd have gotten the "regular conservative" Midwesterners and the Northeastern Republicans who don't like unions but also admired her for being pro-choice and not socially conservative. And she'd have gotten some support among Buchanan/Perot/paleo-conservatives assuming her Euroskepticism translated into dislike for NAFTA as an American politician.)
The Grassroots Right would have hated her for...
- being pro-choice (she voted to legalize abortion in the UK)
- more or less ignoring social issues apart from arguing that capitalism was "morally" right
- being lukewarm toward Israel (she harshly criticized their 1981 bombing of a nuclear reactor in Iraq and did nothing to strengthen her country's ties to Israel)
