Trump's casual racism, misogyny, and conspiracy theories are without precedent among major presidential nominees.

It seems that sama needs to listen to the Nixon tapes.

"Casual" being the operative term here. Nixon et al had plenty to say behind closed doors that at least for the last generation or two, would not be tolerated by the decent voting public from a mainstream candidate with any hope of being elected. Trump is not only saying these things in public, on the record, but he's campaigning on them. He's a leader in misogyny and bigotry.
Or read a few paragraphs of Lyndon Johnson's biography.
