After 42 primaries and caucuses, Donald Trump is the Republicans’ presumptive nominee for president. And as the new leader of the party, it’s up to Trump to live up to his claim that he’s “a unifier.”
He’s going to have a tough go of it. Trump’s fellow Republicans haven’t held back when it comes to a candidate they believe to be unqualified and dangerous.
Here, in their own words, is what Republicans have said about Trump and his views:
