"We do things a little different in this campaign: We bring people together. No, we are not gonna hate Mexicans. We are not gonna hate Muslims. We are not gonna insult women. We are not gonna insult veterans. Were not gonna insult African-Americans. We will not allow the Donald Trumps of the world to divide us up. If we do not allow them to divide us up by race, by sexual orientation, by gender, by whether we were born in America or whether we are immigrantswhen we stand together as white, black, Hispanic, gay, straight, women and menwhen we stand together and demand that this country works for all of us rather than the few, we will transform America. That's what we are going to do: We are going to bring our people TOGETHER."

Some politicians do that.
