Trump is a perfect representative for the Republican Party.

Many are taking issue because the party as a whole likes to keep these things behind closed doors. Trump is comfortable enough with his racism, bigotry, and sexism that he yells it from the rooftops.

That alone has excited republicans more willing to be public with their hatred. It scares republicans smart enough to know these are the thoughts that are finishing off the republican brand.

It is embarrassing, after many of the great accomplishments we have had in civil rights, that an openly racist, sexist, bigot is going to be the nominee of one of the two major parties.


Women, minorities, and the LGBQT community should not have to listen to this from a Presidential contender. Yet he is now the defacto leader of the republican party.


“An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud"


“Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again – just watch. He can do much better!”


“Ariana Huffington is unattractive, both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.”

“You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.”


“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”


“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people.”


“Our great African-American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore.”


“If I were running ‘The View’, I’d fire Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired.’”


“All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”


“I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

"I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I'm a traditionalist."


"The only card Hillary Clinton has is the woman's card. She's got nothing else to offer and frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the woman's card, and the beautiful thing is, women don't like her."

All Trump quotes. I feel a sense of duty to stop this man.
