Donald Trump makes supporters swear allegiance to him in Florida

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.

"Let's do a pledge", the real-estate billionaire told the crowd. Majority raised their right hands up, probably not really aware of the consequences they just signed up for if they don't really vote for him. Jenna Johnson with the Washington Post Tweeted that one protester stood outside of the event calling out to attendees, "It's not too late to give up on Trump! I do solemnly swear that I, no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions - if there's hurricanes or whatever - will vote, on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president", Trump said as the crowd repeated his words.

When the crowd failed to repeat the pledge verbatim, Trump reassured them they were doing all right.
