He said: "Please raise right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath.
"That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way — I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell like they do... and we are going to vote on November 3."
He then joked with attendees in Dallas: "You know what happens if you don't vote right?," before revealing the punch line: "You go to hell."
It didn’t take long for the Democrats to react to Trump's speech, with the party's rapid response "Headquarters" account calling the pledge "a cult ritual."
'A Stunningly Pointless Exercise For The Republicans'

Trump, whose speech the previous night lasted two hours, also used his latest rallying call to praise veep J.D. Vance, who gave his own address which featured jibes at the Democrats.
He said: "Don't give the country over to a bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with us on a policy issue here or there."
Vance's speech offered hints about his political aspirations, as he spoke about his own family, his wife, Usha, who recently gave birth to their fourth child, and his vision for the country, which closely aligns with Trump's.
