Trump Leads GOP Convention Pledge With Cheat Like Hell Line
President Donald Trump closed the first-ever Republican midterm convention in Dallas on Thursday by leading thousands of attendees in a pledge to vote in November, a call-and-response that described him as the greatest president in the history of the United States and included a line about cheating that drew laughter from the crowd. Standing before the audience at the American Airlines Center, Trump asked supporters to raise their right hands and repeat the pledge, which promised to go out with family and friends to vote on November 3 or before. The pledge included the line, I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell, like they do, a reference to Trump's repeated, unsubstantiated claims that Democrats cheat in elections. After attendees echoed his remarks, Trump quipped that they could vote Democrat if they wanted, though he said he did not believe anyone in the room would, and warned, You know what happens if you don't vote? You go to hell.
