Trump in this campaign has gone after African Americans, immigrants, Latinos, Asians, women, Muslims and now the disabled. - WaPo.

Websters definition: - a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)

27% of Rs cannot admit the definition matches their candidate's comments (says a lot of their educational background, if nothing else)
91% of Ds recognize that his comments appeal to bigotry, which speaks to how much deeper liberals think
