This is a little creepy.

There's a link at the bottom of OP's page that points to a Collab notebook. I started that and am tinkering around. It has a few modes like Q/A, Summarize and Complete The Sentence. I of course go right for the jugular because that's what we're interested in, here was my prompt:

We should build the border wall

Here's two sample outputs, which complete the above thought. It goes off the rails a bit but I can imagine a 10x model would be at least a little better:

   — and try to do the right things," Sanders said. "I don't think any one person on this 
  stage is going to stop that."
  
  Kathleen Murray, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, 
  said in a statement on Saturday that to "break the bipartisan agreement on a proposal 
  that would keep the American people protected from immigration, it was unfair and 
  disingenuous to try to pass that bill before many Americans could come to our country."
  
  "Today's vote provides the first major step towards ending DACA, and I applaud Secretary 
  Johnson for taking a leadership role in defending workers and families from this 
  devastating tragedy," Murray said. "This should be a moment for the American people, not 
  the Congress. President Obama must be asked: who was wrong with that dumb bill? When the 
  American people elected someone like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain, who 
  were able to pass something smart as well, do the President have any standing to get 
  back to work in this country?"

  . #GoVOT."
  
  He said he made the remarks when he was working with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who said 
  that the federal government's willingness to provide funding for border security and 
  immigration arrests would reduce crime, particularly in Mexico.
  
  "We should build the border wall," Trump tweeted Tuesday. "#GoVOT."
  
  The President also said that, at a Fox News broadcast, he understood "a lot of the folks 
  who won't support funding the wall" after Trump refused to back a bipartisan package of 
  spending bills passed by the House last week.
  
  "And you know what, if we were both on the right side of history, and also we can be at 
  every single level we can be for, I mean, we all know the differences, but not the great 
  divide," Trump said, repeating that the United States "may or not want the budget to be 
  less comprehensive than we are, but we may not be willing to work hard, that's for 
  sure." "What we've always said is that if we both take the right approach, and stand on 
  the border and say 'Here's what we're doing into Mexico, over there, we're not going to 
  kill anybody, we're not going to steal anything,' we're going to build our wall," he 
  added.
  
  "Well if the Constitution says you can live and work here in this country, so can we, if 
  you're going to support it, and if absolutely you can't, why don't you build your own?" 
  he said. "We've got to get behind on it. We've got to get behind on it. Because for us, 
  it is the most beautiful thing to do. For us kids, we are blessed to be all of these 
  little country kids in here. But not on the borders. That we have to tell them. In fact, 
  it's amazing when they say 'You made us.' That's a great thing for America. It's 
  unbelievable," he said as the crowd cheered along with Trump.
  
  After Trump stated in his most recent tweets that the Republican Party cannot have a 
  "war on the people" because it has given up on the fight on immigration, one of the most 
  serious topics he brought up Tuesday was the size of the estimated 17.5 million 
  undocumented immigrants present in the U.S.
