Authoritarian Donald Trump forces audience at a rally in Orlando Florida to swear they will vote for him.
He said the following:
I have never done this before. Can I have a pledge, a swearing? Raise your right hand. I do solemnly swear. That I no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there is hurricanes or whatever, that's good enough, will vote on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president.

I hate all "pledges", but really, folks, Trump is not doing anything another politician didn't do, except more obnoxiously out in the open.
