There’s been such strident sexism leveled against her. Even the way Trump talks about her, that she doesn’t have the stamina to be president — Well, he said the same thing about Jeb Bush. Look, does gender play a part in how people perceive Hillary Clinton? Yes. But it’s also not the reason people criticize her about the emails or Benghazi. This campaign has been an equal-opportunity criticism-fest. Do we criticize Hillary’s hair and bobbing head? Yes. But God knows we criticize Donald Trump’s color and the furry object growing on top of his head. We might be more sensitive to it because she’s a woman, but it’s been pretty brutal for everybody.

Do you think Trump’s nomination will mean that the Republican Party loses Latino or Hispanic voters for generations? If Donald Trump wins, and even maybe if he doesn’t win, he has already caused so much harm. I think if there aren’t Republicans standing up to Trump, and showing America that he does not represent the Republican Party, then he has the potential to ruin the brand and turn it into toxic waste for generations.

Let’s say Trump wins. What do you think is going to happen to the Republican Party after this cycle? The party is going to have to rebuild, reunite and rebrand. Trump supporters within the Republican Party love to label mainstream Republicans as “RINOs,” or Republicans in name only, or “establishment,” and they would love to see those people out of the party. I wasn’t particularly good at math, but I know enough arithmetic to know that if you subtract people from a party, your likelihood of winning the majority of the vote is less, not more.

Is there a case to be made for splintering into different parties? No. People are supporting Trump because he’s an outsider or because they’re fed up with the dysfunction in Washington. Some people just dislike Hillary. I don’t think everybody who supports Donald Trump does it because they’re racist — I just don’t think it’s that simple. You just have to learn how to focus on the stuff you have in common and learn how to live with the difference.
