Twitter Has a Field Day with Trump Supporters Raising Their Hands at Rally
At a rally in Florida earlier today, Donald Trump asked his supporters to raise their hands and pledge to vote for him in the state’s primary.
He made them repeat, “I do solemnly swear… that I, no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there’s a hurricane or whatever… will vote on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president!”
