In Alabama, Trump says he knows how Billy Graham felt

Maybe they’ll say something insane (or even sensible enough) to take some attention off Trump for a second. It’s hard to tell, but he sure has been entertaining and exciting for many Americans all over the states.

The event had the trappings of a big Friday night high school match-up.

About an hour before the event, Trump’s Boeing 757 jet emblazoned with “Trump” in gold letters, flew over the stadium, CNN reported. The fly-by was announced over the stadium’s loudspeaker to cheers.

The campaign eventually leased the football stadium, which Talbot said could hold as many as 50,000 if seats are added on the field.

Trump evoked Graham – the evangelist who packed stadiums around the world – as he brought his message to the Deep South. There were also a lot of elected officials in attendance offering their support for Trump, including Rep. Barry Moore, and a special appearance by Senator Jeff Sessions, the Republican from Alabama.

“Third, Trump is for real as a presidential candidate, he is polling as well as Jeb Bush, the brother and son of a Republican president and clearly the establishment candidate in Michigan”. So, you know what? Every time Trump gets blasted for a comment, he doubles down and says even more about the subject, often saying more controversial statements about that topic, and this is what is making him draw these huge crowds, because people seem to be exhausted of politics in Washington as usual. “Ah, what a group”. No one was more impressed than Donald Trump himself.

Trump’s reaction to a nasty question from a woman in the panel during the debate is entirely appropriate: Gender shouldn’t give anybody carte blanche for not being polite. He also likes Cruz, Carson and Trump.

“No, I don’t think so”, Clemenps said, but also said she’d consider voting for Trump as an independent candidate. “Trump’s positions are out of step with the Alabama way of life”, reads the e-mail, which the Bush campaign shared with reporters.

“You know, if this were another country, we could maybe call for an expedited election, right?”

NBC and Univision declined to continue with the pageant because of Trump’s remarks about immigrants when he launched his presidential campaign in June. Jeb Bush, whose wife emigrated from Mexico, cranked up the language and used the term “anchor baby” in referring to such children.

Attendees gathered as early as 6 a.m. CT, and some traveled from as far away as Florida and California to attend.

Critics of Trump’s plan to “change the standards” of the 14th Amendment call it unconstitutional.

Brent Fritz and Jacob Murray, 19-year-old students from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, drove in Friday morning to see Trump.

The first person to get in line was retired Marine Keith Quackenbush.

In an energetic, if meandering speech, the businessman, reality television star and Republican presidential front-runner criticized America’s leaders as “stupid”, complained about children born to immigrants in the country illegally, and bragged about his personal wealth. “I don’t want your money because in two years when you come to see me about something I’m not doing it unless it’s good and unless it’s gonna make America great again”.

“I’m not married to the man and it’s not like I’m going to have to sit across a turkey at the table with him”, she said.

An estimated 4.5 million people under the age of 18 have benefited from birthright citizenship as of 2010, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan think tank considered to be the gold standard in assessing the undocumented population in the U.S. It’s estimated that number will increase by 300,00 births each year, accounting for 7.5% of all babies born in the U.S. “What’s happening to this country is disgraceful”.
