tired of it. >> i would say trump ended the relationship. >> reporter: almost five months into their romance, rachel brewer called it quits with tom jenkins after discovering his love of all things trump. >> everything that he was saying about women, everything that he said in front of our friends and the fact that i had to smile and pretend that i was okay with it, even though it literally killed me inside, i think that was really the end of it all. >> reporter: when they first met at a video gaming conference last summer, the attraction for both was instantaneous. >> i was drawn to him because he was extremely handsome. he seems very approachable. and i just really wanted to strike up a conversation with him. >> she's real easy to talk to, real easy to get into a natural conversation. >> get him out of here, get him out. >> reporter: things were going swimmingly. until the donald killed the mood. >> i am thankful that our governor is not going to let those refugees in here. >> oh my god. >> reporter: we all know talk of politics can cause rifts among

>> she's a guest in our home -- >> reporter: it was even parodied in this "saturday night live" skit. hello >> reporter: where only an adele song can calm a room. but these days you'd be hard-pressed to find a subject more divisive than trump. his candidacy uniting an unlikely coalition aimed at stopping him. >> i'm an american. >> this is my home. >> bimbo. >> dog. >> fat pig. >> real quotes from donald trump. >> about women. >> reporter: despite millions of votes and a legion of passionate supporters there seems to be no shortage of online campaigns dedicated to keeping trump out of the white house. including this one. vote trump, get dumped. a viral campaign that urges women to go on a sex strike. its mission statement reads, until trump is defeated, we don't date, sleep, or kanoodle with trump supporters. >> vote trump, get dumped.

trump supporters because it tells you something about their character. >> reporter: this tongue firmly in cheek campaign takes its inspiration from an ancient greek comedy where women boycotted sex to end a war. in liberia women successfully did the same in 2003. >> sex strikes don't necessarily work because of their practical work, they work because they get immediate attention. >> wu were you surprised to find out women were boycotting section and kanoodling after you launched this? >> it was a surprise, but go girl. >> voting for trump is the new disqualifier in relationships the same way a girlfriend wouldn't let you date somebody who is living in their parents' basement or can't hold a steady job or is addicted to video games. it's the same way you go, oh, he's a trump supporter? girl, you can't be dating him. >> just ask rachel, who broke up with todd when she heard him

first time at a party. >> it just -- really got under my skin. he had really turned into a trump lover like he was just all about trump. >> i think rachel is a little oversensitive. and maybe took things a little too serious. >> i don't see how you can support somebody who is literally turning this into a reality show. >> he's someone who can definitely say what he really thinks. >> i plan on voting for hillary clinton. i think -- >> hah. >> you would. i'd like to see us fundamentally working towards building relationships with other countries in a way that can help us in business and personal issues, health care, and anything for the u.s. >> hah. >> what? >> it all sounds nice but how are you going to pay for it? >> good question, ask mr. bankruptcy. >> reporter: it's not just early infatuations. trump-inspiring sparring is straining long-term relationships.

comedian pat nixon at the gotham comedy club just last year. the couple bonded over their shared sense of humor. which is helpful when you share this tiny studio apartment in new york city. there's literally no room to hide after a heated argument about trump. >> the only reason that i'm interested in this is donald trump. he hasn't apologized. that was the first thing that got my attention. >> he has the sociopathic trait where you believe your own lies. >> no, not a president that believes his own lies! >> did you not talk politics while you were dating? what happened. >> i certainly didn't. >> we really were caught up in all the following in love stuff. and the then once that was all in place, we realized, this is an election year. i guess that's when we discover wed were on opposite sides of the thing. >> reporter: as for rachel and todd, our couple who split in los angeles, they're still coming to terms with the role trump played in spoiling their romance. >> if trump wasn't in the

think we may have had a better chance. i don't know, he just brings out something bad in you. and i just -- it would have been different, yeah. >> yeah, i think it could have been totally different. i think we would have been together much longer. could have been pretty serious. >> reporter: for a brief moment, there seems to be some rekindling in the air. but then talk returned to immigration and politics. >> hilarious, he was being joke. >> it's hilarious. >> maybe to you. it's not hilarious. >> maybe people with simple minds can't understand complex humor. >> maybe people trying to make things complex and talk about politics -- >> yeah, go feed the homeless. >> i will because they need to be fed. >> reporter: i suspect this romance is officially over. up next, beauty queens in ugly situations. a former mrs. america arrested. why she's now facing charges. fashion's biggest night. who's on the guest list?

felony charges for theft by swindle. the 50-year-old mother of two has not yet entered a plea. our request for comment was declined. this is just the latest scandal to rock the high-pressure, high-staked world of beauty pageants. with 2.5 million women competing in 100,000 pageants every year in the u.s., a few tiaras are bound to get tarnished. >> time to announce the winner, stormy keffler is miss washington, usa -- >> reporter: take stormy keffler, crowned miss washington usa 2016 this past october. behind the 100-watt smile she had a secret. she'd recently been arrested for drunk driving. >> i'm so stororry to anybody i've disappointed. >> reporter: according to the police report she was driving with two flat tired and when pulled over her eyes were droopy, bloodshot, and watery,

she pleaded guilty to drunk driving with a blood alcohol reading nearly three times the legal limit. just a month before the pageant. she would have been required to disclose the arrest. but didn't. >> i have resigned as miss washington usa. i think that's the best and briefst thing that i could possibly do. everybody's telling me how i should be ashamed of myself and how i'm an unfit role model and all of these things. but -- i mean, there's really nothing that anybody can say that i haven't thought worse about myself. >> reporter: but even in light of her legal troubles, she thinks she has qualifications worthy of the crown. >> i still to this day think i am a perfect role model and some days it just happens to be the exact role model of what not to do. >> there's a lot of pressure from beauty contestants to be perfect. they want to get everything right. and it's this unattainable goal of perfection that really does

pageant contestants. >> reporter: billal ver son knows the circuit inside and out. >> new york! >> reporter: as one of the most successful pageant coaches in america, famous for his tiara-winning clients and tough-love style. >> your blond, your eyebrows are black, have them lightened. >> there are a lot of people that do get joy out of seeing someone that has been noted for being beautiful and together and having it all, so to speak, and then really not. >> reporter: the most famous example, vanessa williams, who made history in 1983 when she was crowned the first african-american miss america. >> our new miss america -- vanessa williams, miss new york! >> reporter: but her ten-month reign came to an abrupt halt when news broke that nude photos she had taken two years before would be published in "penthouse" magazine. it was one of the biggest scandals of the 1980s.

>> if you're breaking the law, don't expect me to put you up and say, we're going to win this pageant. >> reporter: for "nightline," i'm linzie janis in new york. up next, a behind the scenes look as anna wintour plans the glamorous met gala. the nissan roguewith intuitive all-wheel drive. take on the unexpected. if your family outing is magical for all the wrong reasons. you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec for powerful allergy relief.

there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. an america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. a nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. i know we can create that america if we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message,
