Agree, let’s keep it clean and add in the topper that he lacks the judgment and temperament to serve.

Good thought

But, let's just keep as is and get it out.

I think we need to add a Paul Ryan hook – that he is very proud of the high turnout from Trump, and that this is what most of Trump supporters support – what drove their turnout.

SL: Donald Trump’s Ongoing Support for a Muslim Ban

Donald Trump’s ongoing support for his dangerous and divisive ban on Muslims entering the United States remains strong, despite broad agreement that such a despicable measure would only make America less safe.

·         This week<http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/05/09/donald-trump-says-new-london-mayor-could-be-exception-to-his-ban-on-muslims/>, Trump said that the Sadiq Khan, the new Mayor of London, could be an exception to his Muslim ban.

·         According to interviews<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/05/us/politics/donald-trump-president.html?_r=0> with The New York Times, Trump plans to have his immigration ban in place within his first 100 days as President.

·         Trump’s website still notes<https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration> that he “is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim populations.”

·         Trump has said<https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the-world-reacts-to-trumps-proposed-ban-on-muslims-entering-us/2015/12/08/50eea1dc-9d4a-11e5-9ad2-568d814bbf3b_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_trumpworld-922am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory> he did not care if his call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States was “politically incorrect.” He argued that, “We Have No Choice. We Have. No. Choice.”

·         When asked whether he would stick by his ban in the general election, Trump said, “I don't care it hurts me. I'm doing the right thing when I do this.” [Do we have a link? … Morning Joe, MSNBC, 5/4/16]
