Interesting, it may be used to get people to feel they made a promise that they cannot break.

How could you?

There is no way to go back and talk to the campaign and say, that one has thought it over and will not be voting for Hillary. It is kind of reminds me of those pledge cards some Churches gave that had young girls promising they would remain virgins until marriage. It is a guilt/shame maneuver.

The person doing the promises that cannot be broken, should be the candidates themselves.

Hillary has as much passion as a wet dishrag. Her persona screams "Beltway Insider". jalan48 Jan 2016 #9
