This is very concerning. Yes, it is. Shocking I say.

Donald Trump on Saturday led a mass rally in taking a pledge affirming their commitment to voting for him, and vowed to broaden existing laws regarding the interrogation of captured terrorist suspects.
The scene unfolded during a raucous rally at a University of Central Florida arena in Orlando, Florida, that featured frequent interruptions by protesters over Trump's hour-long address.
"Let's do a pledge. Who likes me in this room?" Trump asked the crowd. "I've never done this before. Can I have a pledge? A swearing? Raise your right hand."
The Republican front-runner then had the audience repeat after him.
"I do solemnly swear that I, no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there are hurricanes or whatever, will vote on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for President."(continued)

You Ted Cruz supporters are a classy bunch.
So I made it all up and the media ran with it? Or perhaps Trump actually did ask attendees to swear an oath?
“He was just joking around. Chill about Hitler already.”

OK, thanks..the article didn’t say anything about it being a joke. I should know better than to trust a CNN piece.
Why thank you.
Well, I understand you’ll need a compass.

Did CNN just cross the Godwin line?
No I was not there and I am glad you had a good time.
However I am still entitled to my opinion. I still find calling for loyalty oaths, especially for things that are not life and death to be offensive.
I take oaths only on very rare circumstances. When I joined the military, when I joined the department of the Army as a civilian, when I received my security clearance. These all dealt with life and limb type situations and yes, some did die - even in peacetime - and I had to be there to pick up some of the pieces. It was during those times my faith in God and the oaths that I took helped sustain me.
Those that joke about such things, IN MY OPINION, tread upon very dangerous ground by making light of something very important.
I wish he had me on security. I can pick out these scumbags and know exactly where they sit/stand.
As I remember correctly, the RNC made Trump sign an oath.
I find myself at times with tepid support for Trump, but he always finds a way to make my eyes open up to the fact, he's simply not presidential material, a good businessman, good father, but not the temperament for governing the worlds superpower.
He has no clue how offensive his antics, bullying, juvenile demeanor and childish name calling rants are...as well as his cluelessness on some major policy issues...
You can attack your political opponents with a degree of decorum and understated ridicule...and still get your points in...
Trump only tool in his belt is a baseball bat...
I have no idea why Cruz doesn't distance himself from this loon...
Take a look at post #6.
The whole oath-taking thing is creepy.

No, not a serious problem, one news cycle and it will be almost forgotten, just really bad optics...
Why hand your political enemies ammo for later use?
But, what do I know ?
I'm brain dead and stupid...according to you...so that MUST be correct...
