Hey there, Luis --

Remember that classic '80s movie where high school kids from all 
different walks of life come together over weekend detention and 
realize they're not so different after all? Well, Speaker Paul Ryan 
and the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president, 
Donald Trump, spent some time together on Thursday morning and 
realized there is plenty they have in common.

In fact, they issued a statement (just like The Breakfast Club's 
assignment!) saying how crucial it was that "Republicans unite around 
our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda, and do all we 
can to win this fall," and "while we recognize our few differences, we 
recognize that there are also many important areas of common ground" 
and ultimately "remain confident there's a great opportunity to unify our 
party and win this fall." 

Yes, the Republican Party is unifying around a candidate who has stoked 
hatred and intolerance so much, some of his biggest fans are white 
nationalists:

Real-life headline: "Trump Selects a White Nationalist Leader as a 
Delegate in California"

Whose approval rating among women is historically low -- with good reason:

Remember that time Donald Trump said there should be "some form of 
punishment" for women who have abortions?

And who is at odds with our most fundamental American values:

But really, it shouldn't surprise Speaker Ryan -- or anyone else, for that 
matter -- that he should be able to find common ground with Donald 
Trump. After all, Trump's candidacy has given the Republican Party 
what they've been asking for after years of sowing seeds of fear, hatred, 
greed, and intolerance:

The stakes have never been higher for electing Democrats this 
November, Luis. Especially when the Republican nominee is as 
resistant to facts and fact-checking as Trump is, your job is more 
important than ever to get the word out to your family, friends, and 
neighbors on what a disaster Trump -- and the rest of his Republican 
Party -- would be for our country. So tweet, share, and forward this 
email to everyone you can. 

Thanks for your help, and talk soon!
