âI followed the law," Trump said in an interview with Mika Brzezinski aired Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," in discussing the hoops she had to jump through in order to become a citizen of the United States. "I never thought to stay here without papers. I had a visa, I traveled every few months back to the country to Slovenia to stamp the visa. I came back, I applied for the green card, I applied for the citizenship later on after many years of green card. So I went by system, I went by the law. And you should do that, you should not just say let me stay here and whatever happens, happens.
Trump, who immigrated to the United States from Slovenia in 1996, said that she and her husband are prepared for people to call him names for expressing his viewpoints. Iâm a full-time mom, and I love it.
"We have thick skin, and we know that people will judge him and people will call names. They donât give him enough credit. From June that he announced, they dont give him enough credit," she said, leading Brzezinski to ask her what she thought about people who felt he insulted Mexicans with his comments that the country is sending rapists and murderers across the border in his announcement speech.
Trump said that she did not feel her husband insulted the Mexican people. He said illegal immigrants. He didnât talk about everybody. He talked about illegal immigrants, she explained. And after a few weeks, like two weeks [of] giving him a hard time and bashing him in the media, they turned around. They said, you know what, hes right. Hes right what hes talking about. And he opened conversation that nobody did.

Good post. Right on mark.
Enough credit for what?
When I really think of my visceral feelings against Trump this is what I come up with.
Why didn’t Trump attack John McCain’s policies, senate voting record, there is plenty there to go after. Instead he attacked his service to this nation, denigrating him because he was a POW.
Why attack the appearance of Fiorina? It proved nothing except he was capable of humiliating people.
Why attack Ben Carson’s professional ability as a brain surgeon. What did that have to do with anything in this race.
There’s more but it is irrelevant. Let me tell you why he chose the personal attacks........he had no idea what their records, policies, history were, he was flying by the seat of his pants and still is, so he used the familiar, counting on the fact that people operate on emotions, in this case fury, more than literal reasoning.
Assuming you're talking about the Hispanic vote, most of them are already in the Democrat camp. And if they aren't, Trump's other policies towards Mexico, and the impact it will have on them, aren't going to endear him to them.
“Your post about Cruzâ wife was very contemptible.”
HEIDI got picked up wandering the streets in the middle of the night...POLICE report! FACT!
And I don’t pretend to be hearing the voice of Gawd...like this “comtemptible” woman.

Afterthought: When Trump was asked if he ever prayed for God’s forgiveness, he emphatically said no, that he never felt he needed it because he never did any thing wrong. (Paraphrased)
First and foremost that is impossible. Obviously, I don’t know him personally but there is at least one maybe two incidents of public adulterous relationships and if he doesn’t consider that a sin, then he doesn’t have any idea what his mother’s bible that he waves around says.
Right now, I do not have a candidate. I started with Cruz realized h can’t win nationally and went to Trump, he sickens me so in protest I went to Rubio and now, I see him as an opportunist. So here I am rudderless.
Cruz last night looked and sounded like he just came from a funeral. (little did he know it was his own).
He said the same old stuff, yet the televangelist persona was missing. This was much different from his other 3rd place victory speeches. And yes the applause was feeble, I noticed that as well.
Republicans like McCain and Miami Rubio cave in completely on point number two, amnesty and borders, but as GOP-ers they really can't go too far on point one. So what they accomplish is alienating white voters while making little headway with hispanics.
Yes!
