Trump Asks Backers To Swear Their Support, Vows To Broaden Torture Laws

March 5, 2016

Washington (CNN)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."

The crowd ended the pledge with cheers.

in a move guaranteed to garner electoral votes:
Tomorrow pastor Ted Cruz is actually going to rally in Ellisville Mississippi with far-right religious nutter Brian Fischer who is a proponent for arresting gays and lesbians, and enacting the same laws as Russia banning homosexuality.

“We're going to have those laws broadened because we're playing with two sets of rules: their rules and our rules,” Trump said pointing to ISIS’s tactics, which have included torture and brutal executions.

If anyone understands what Trump is saying, please explain.

Is Trump advocating abandoning our rules and just using the rules of ISIS?

If so, count me out. I don't want our troops beheading prisoners or burning them alive in cages.

Trump is saying we need to take interrogation and information gathering as far as necessary to save American lives...

Do you disagree with that???

If you play Trump’s speeches backwards, the repeated message says, “Vote for me or be tortured”.

>>>vowed to broaden existing laws regarding the interrogation of captured terrorist suspects<<<

Hmmmm. Can’t seem to find the word “Torture” that was prominent in the Headline. How can that be?

Yes, the sneaky Media up to their old tricks.

The Pledge thing is blown out of proportion of course. You know, Nazi Salutes and all that Jazz. Alinsky lives for people who take things out of context and don’t have a sense of humor.

Didn’t see any of Trump’s Brownshirts walking through the crowd beating those who didn’t comply to Trump’s request but I’m sure the Media will find one who admires David Duke.

Put in “Or He” between the “Support” and “Vows” in the headline here and it is chillingly hilarious!!!

I know you think that is funny but have you listened to reverse speech? Trump’s reverse speech is consistent - he loves America.

Not so with the other candidates. Interesting, check it out.
