Someone boldly moved this article to a new title without discussion. If there is a good reason for moving the article, it should be done via a move request discussion so that consensus can be assessed.- Mr X 20:29, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Was the removal of Evan McMullin against consensus? I just wish to inquire before I possibly pre-emptively revert. SwineHerd ( talk/ contribs) 15:41, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Trump was considered a longshot to win the nomination, but his large media profile gave him a chance to spread his message and appear in the Republican debates. By the end of 2015, Trump was leading the Republican field in national polls.
I think the use of "large media profile" is a euphemism for a type of propaganda. What Trump’s team did, as history now shows, is they contacted a talent agency and requested dozens of paid actors for an event they were putting together on June 16, 2015. That event, which we now know was totally manufactured and filled with paid actors, was where he announced his candidacy. This event manipulated the public by engaging in an ad populum effort, attempting to show Americans that there was popular support for Trump, when in fact there was none. This bandwagon fallacy was then broadcast on major television networks, and became a viral sensation in the conservative demographic, mostly among the 20% or so of people who are easily persuaded when they are told that something is popular and there is a FOMO. In other words, there was no large media profile. There was a manufactured event designed to psychologically persuade those who are easily persuaded that Trump was and should be the candidate.

As of typing this, the page states that Never Trumpers are "moderate conservative". While a lot of them,if not most are such, not all would be. A huge demographic of Never Trumpers are Mormon, which are a very significant Conservative voting bloc.Much of the republican electorate labels him moderate.Trump has even called himself an "abortion moderate" as he supports abortion in cases of rape and incest as well as having it as a state issue which are exceptions than a lot of republicans are against. Mitt Romney is the most popular example of a Never Trumper,and has only been considered a relatively moderate republican quite recently in his career. Almost all of the popular paleoconservatives, e.g. Pat Buchanan,David Duke, Alex Jones and Scott Lively have come to be anti-Trump because of what he's said in terms of Israel, abortion, and same sex marriage,the killing of Qassem Soleimani or what they perceive as a watering down on his anti-immigration rhetoric in his 2015-2016 campaign.My proposal is that "moderate conservative " gets replaced as just "conservative" and "republican". 2600:8801:FB13:6B00:CE9F:FED6:F584:5708 ( talk) 04:37, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
The article states, "Trump remained unsupported by 100 percent of Republican members of Congress in the general election."
This can't possibly be true. I distinctly remember several members of Congress endorsing Trump. Albeit some may have done so reluctantly, they did so nevertheless. Some even endorsed Trump emphatically, fervently, wholeheartedly, and enthusiastically. I feel like I am being gaslit here. Jeff Sessions, Mike Pompeo, Ryan Zinke, Tom Price, John Ratcliffe, and Mick Mulvaney are just a few names that come to mind (they all subsequently served in Trump's cabinet). Granted, before they were appointed to their respective positions in the Trump administration, I likely had no idea who they were previously. Unless, I am remembering incorrectly, or experiencing the Mandela effect, I do specifically remember sitting Senator Jeff Sessions actively campaigning with Donald Trump in 2016. How can this fact be reconciled with the excerpt from the article? Can someone please address this and edit the article accordingly? Thank you. 66.91.36.8 ( talk) 04:09, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
