Oddly enough, this random source calls Trump Mainstream. I'm not sure what to classify him as, personally. --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 23:45, 18 August 2019 (EDT)

I'm not sure if this article should focus quite so much on Trump support/opposition specifically. Trump certainly is getting people to show their true colors, but this seems better suited as a separate example, rather than the main point of this discussion. Trump will, either in 2020 or 2024, leave office, but the concept of mainstream conservatives will continue, so I would prefer to see our article on this being more about principles than support/opposition of one person in 2016-2020. --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 23:55, 18 August 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I get your point, I was just watching Piers Morgan on Ben Shapiro this morning and he said that he liked Trump, and he's a radically anti-2nd Amdt pro-Islam RINO, so...maybe you've got a point.

One last comment, if we are going to keep this article, we really need some good references. I added on weak reference, but that's not enough. --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 23:57, 18 August 2019 (EDT)
