But in another interview Thursday – this time with Fox News – Palin seemed to remain steadfast in sticking by Trump.

“Candidate Trump didn’t garner a lot of enthusiastic support by being soft on anything but by having a steel spine and doing what he knows the majority of what Americans want and that is to put a stop to illegal immigration”, Palin said.
Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia.
Rep. Steve King (R-IA), no stranger to controversy over racially charged remarks, refused to engage in the attack. “But when I go through and I meet thousands and thousands of people on this subject, and I’ve had very strong people come up to me, really great, great people come up to me, and they’ve said, ‘Mr”.
“To Hillary Clinton and her donors and advisers pushing her to spread smears and her lies about decent people, I have three words, I want you to remember these three words: Shame. On”.
“She has been in hiding for nearly an entire year now and refuses to take questions and she uses these kind of aggressive lies to go after Donald Trump and I think it’s just sad”. “There’s no amnesty. But we work with them”, Trump said Wednesday.
Has Trump even read the Senate’s Gang of Eight bill? “I can be supportive of that.But you have to be careful because you’ve got to have the rule of law”.
Trump said “any immigration policy” that he supports, if he’s elected, would have to improve jobs and wages, improve safety and security, and improve the quality of life, for all USA citizens.
“I don’t know about softening the stance”.
Some Republicans are upset with Trump because they support him and feel betrayed on his signature issue; other conservatives didn’t like Trump in the first place and point to this as evidence of his dishonesty. “There is nothing wrong with that”, he said. “These are the acts of a desperate candidate who knows he is going to lose”. “Do you imagine what it’s like to be Jeb Bush today?” “Poor Ann, oh my God, she has this book ‘In Trump We Trust, ‘ and in it she says, ‘The only thing, the only thing that could cause Donald Trump any trouble whatsoever is if he flip-flops on abortion or immigration and goes amnesty, ‘ and it looks like he’s getting close to it”. Trump’s team is struggling to maintain that he hasn’t actually changed his position: spokesperson Katrina Pierson told CNN, “He hasn’t changed his position”.
“A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military”, Clinton said. “And the idea that it helps him with anyone is nonsense”, Coulter then told ABC.
Trump, meanwhile, declared in an interview on CNN that Clinton is a bigot – an accusation that he first made at a rally in MS on Thursday, but that he repeated several times under questioning from CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
But Gheen said he has gotten plenty of calls and emails from erstwhile supporters dismayed at Trump’s suggestion of a shift. “Since the convention, since his speech at the convention, he has not made any mistakes until now.The media just makes stuff up, reinterprets his words, doesn’t show people what he says, lies about him”. The true cornerstone of Trump’s plan was to deport 11 million illegal immigrants from within our borders – a ridiculous claim, given the amount of manpower it would take to create an immigration force capable of such action, and given that it would require breaking up families in which the children are legal USA citizens.
“There certainly can be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people”, Trump said in the first part of the town hall.

Later, he said undocumented immigrants could “pay back taxes – they have to pay taxes”. John McCain, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake – passed the Senate in 2013 but subsequently died in the House after conservative talk radio and cable news shows sparked a populist assault on the bill by crying “Amnesty!”
