Trump's former primary rival Lindsey Graham says Trump "doesn't have the temperament or judgment to control himself." We then see Trump himself blurt out, "I love war, in a certain way."
The ad closes with another former rival, Marco Rubio, warning, "We're about to turn over to the nuclear codes of the United States to an erratic individual." The final frame offers the text: "Donald Trump. Unfit to be President."
