Trump Asks His Audience to "take the pledge"........

[joelbc1]

Remindful of those good ol' days back in the '30's in old Nuremberg town.

Is this a Freudian slip by Mr. Trump? Lost on the blind followers? Does history repeat itself.........Damn right it does...especially when one fails to learn from it.

Trump made an error of enthusiasm. He was so hyped
that he wanted to drill into the mind of Rubio that Florida
belongs to Trump.

Rubio has won only 1 primary and should drop out after
the Florida primary.

Rubio is going to win Puerto Rico today, and Puerto Ricans living in Florida are going to deliver the state to him.

Those pics of it are just downright creepy

Rubio will not win FL. He might finish 3rd.

Jeez...Plenty of examples of "The Pledge" on either side. Crank up the google machine.

The Virginia governor’s race showcased a successful Democrat voter turnout tactic that the right has been slow to adopt – vote pledges.

In a post-campaign analysis, Politico explained that canvassers for Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s campaign began knocking on doors in early 2013. The McAuliffe supporters identified during these early efforts were asked to fill out a voter pledge card, which is essentially a “promise” to vote in November. At doors, rallies and special events, the campaign collected these pledge cards from supporters and kept them until just before Election Day. At that point, the cards were mailed back to the individuals who pledged to vote. The McAuliffe campaign collected and returned more than 80,000 of their supporters pledge cards in a race decided by only 55,000 votes.

The Left first started using this tactic in 1996 with the Rock the Vote campaign. For that election voters were asked to both sign a pledge they would vote and to fill out their “I will vote because ” response. Researchers found that those who filled out both the pledge and recorded why they were voting were significantly more likely to vote in the 1996 presidential election.

The Left has broadly used voting pledges ever since, but especially in 2012 with both pledge cards and email. In many target states, Obama supporters received campaign emails asking them to pledge to vote and to give a reason for voting. The campaign sent back emails to these supporters prior to the election reminding them of the reason they gave when they made their pledge to vote.

Democrat Corey Booker used this pledge tactic in New Jersey for his special-election campaign for US Senate campaign in October. This tactic was so important that President Obama even recorded a YouTube video asking voters to pledge to vote for Booker. You can still see this video on Booker’s campaign website.



Good campaign tactics like this don’t have borders. In Canada, Naheed Nenshi, the Mayor of Calgary, added a special Pledge to Vote section to his website during his successful reelection campaign. Nenshi even added a pledge counter to the web page showing that more than 12,000 Calgarians pledged to vote.

Unfortunately, few Republicans have adopted voter pledges. One exception is Scott Walker’s campaign and the Wisconsin Republican Party who
have embraced the tactic with the website pledgeyourvotenow.com.

Why has this tactic become so ubiquitous on the left? Because it works.

Over-react much?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

What is this pledge?

How is this pledge (whatever it is) different from or worse than other pledges we hear about?

That guy does not look like a Canadian.

Yet another leftie fear mongerer. You can't win on the issues, so you resort to completely made up scare tactics....straight out of the democratic hate book.

The desperation is painfully obvious.

Story says he wants Floridians to promise to vote by March 12. That's the last day of early voting. The actual date of the primary is March 15.

Why does he want everyone to hurry up? My guess is that he knows the bloom is off the rose.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

the pledge like he took with the Clintons when hills attended his wedding?

 

[UNIHawkfan]

Haha, "how did we Nazi this coming?"....that was a good one

As I mentioned in another thread: First you pledge obedience. Then you drink the cyanide laced Kool Aid when the master commands.
And, for those of you that don't get optics, it was bad for Trump to do this in a week where he took so much flack for hate groups pledging support for him.
