Cause everyone knows Nancy Reagan can suck a golf ball through a garden hose, makes it more credible.

Still not an example of ad populum. If you want to use the fancy phrases, get them right.
It's just an example of piling on. Sorry if it hurt your feelings.

Trumps current VP called him "Hitler" a few years back
his previous VP won't endorse or vote for him
Forget democrats they can't even find republicans that actually like the guy or think he is qualified. The only ones that support him do so for political gain. If he loses (when) they will all bail and distance themselves like anyone else who has had anything to do with him ever.
The only people who actually support Trump are the brainwashed cult members. There is no debate to be had here.

What's fancy about ad populum? It's one of the most common appeals. "Other people believe this, so here it is!"

You are planning on voting for Trump and his VP who himself called Trump Hitler? (before it was advantageous to kiss his orange ass) Is this correct?

That's not even a correct description of ad populum, so it's no wonder you got it wrong.

It's "most" or "many" other people. Not just "other people". It's a mass appeal argument. Not "two other people think this".
Get it right.
Ad populum fallacy refers to a claim that something is true simply because that’s what a large number of people believe. In other words, if many people believe something to be true, then it must be true.

2 against 0 is "most" or "many". Nitpicky mood today.

No, still wrong. The comparison is to the public at large. "This is a bestseller so it must be good".
Not "I agree with these two other people".
Again, don't try to use concepts you don't understand.

The ad populum and appeal to authority are really popular among the Ayn Rand folks though.

True. But the popularity is limited. Most people outgrow it. I'm also not sure a lot of those who profess to like Rand have actually read complete books. Because they are just bad writing, let alone having weak central theses.

I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I haven't read a page of any of her books. I probably should.
It's popular to discredit them here.

You could always watch the movies. Then you'd really be going against what's popular.

And then when his yes-men invariably wake up from their stupor and back away from Trump, he'll call them losers and how they were incompetent from the start. Soooo.... why did you bring them on in the first place?
