Donald Trump, after facing opposition from the Republican leaders said that the party should unite behind him for the nomination.

Trump spoke in front of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County, hosting its annual Lincoln Day Dinner at Mar-a-Lago - his private club.

The Republican presidential front-runner told the crowd that he would submit a list of five to ten judges.

He would appoint them to the court as there is a vacancy due to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. He has recommended Judge William Pryor and Judge Diane Sykes two well-known conservative jurists to replace Scalia.

According to New York Times: Trump said, "So I'm going to get a list of anywhere from five to 10 judges, and those are going to be the judges that I'm going to put in, it will be one of those judges, and I will guarantee it personally, like we do in the world of business, which we don't like to do too often," Trump said. "But I will guarantee it that those are going to be the first judges that I put up for nomination if I win. And that should solve that problem, and I think that's a good idea, right?"

He said he would also release a list of foreign policy advisors.

He also spoke about the Ku Klux Klan. "Again, I say it for everybody, especially for the media, we don't condone violence," Trump said. "Why didn't they show that? So in the morning you saw the Klan, you saw it....All it showed was this wonderful, because I hear he's a very fine guy, this wonderful African American man, swinging, swinging, swinging, and nobody knows why he did it."

After the speech ended, a singer named Beau Davidson sang Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" with pro-Trump lyrics.
