MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Friday joked, "Now I know how the great Billy Graham felt" as he addressed the largest crowd yet of his thriving presidential campaign.
"I would like to have the election tomorrow," Trump crowed. "I don't want to wait."
Trump evoked Graham — the evangelist who packed stadiums around the world — as he brought his message to the Deep South. The 40,000-seat Ladd-Peebles Stadium was about half-full when he began his speech.
Trump was welcomed by an array of Alabama politicians, including Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, who praised him for the attention he's drawn to immigration issues. And Trump led off his speech with more criticism of immigrants living in the country illegally, drawing loud cheers when he repeated his promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
He reiterated his intention to end "birthright citizenship" for children of immigrants here illegally.
Trump also attacked the Obama administration's deal with Iran to restrict that country's nuclear program, calling it "so sad."
And he again promised to "repeal and replace Obamacare" — the health care law that's President Barack Obama's defining domestic achievement.
The South will be strategically important because a group of states in the region, including Alabama, hold their primaries on March 1, 2016, right after the early voting states.
Before Trump arrived, his fans — some carrying signs, others wearing T-shirts supporting the billionaire businessman — spoke of his outsider status in a crowded field dominated by former and current elected officials as the song "Sweet Home Alabama" blared from loudspeakers.
"Donald Trump is telling the truth and people don't always like that," said Donald Kidd, a 73-year-old retired pipe welder from Mobile. "He is like George Wallace, he told the truth. It is the same thing."
