Thursday, February 11, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Baton Rouge, LA at the Baton Rouge River Center. The event is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM CST.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana, and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with an estimated population of 228,895 as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, had a population of 820,159 people as of 2013.The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
HOW DID BATON ROUGE GET ITS NAME?
The French name le baton rouge ("the red stick") is the translation of a native term rendered as Istrouma, possibly a corruption of the Choctaw iti humma ("red pole") Andre Joseph Penicaut, a carpenter traveling with d'Iberville, published the first full-length account of the expedition in 1723. According to Penicaut,
"From there [Manchacq] we went five leagues higher and found very high banks called ecorts in that region, and in savage called Istrouma which means red stick [baton rouge], as at this place there is a post painted red that the savages have sunk there to mark the land line between the two nations, namely: the land of the Bayagoulas which they were leaving and the land of another nation—thirty leagues upstream from the baton rouge named the Oumas."

At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.
This is Cruzbot free zone. Please leave.
Rush seems to care more about selling his Rush Revere books and his tea. The radio is just a means for him to promote himself and his wares. Too bad, because he had been a trailblazer for talk radio. He was much more on his game 20 - 25 years ago.
WOW...that’s GREAT, but unfortunately, MOST vets don’t get such good treatment!
That's rich considering all the Cruz threads you troll. Hypocrite.
he posted here before his radio show went national and was NOT as long as it later became. We need far LESS of him; even DEAD AIR is better than hearing Mark.
“Did you hear what she said when they interviewed her?”
No; what did she say? I didn’t know she was interviewed later.
ROTFLMAOLPIMP !
Cadbury probably thinks shes a chew toy
:)
I can’t , I work also. Full time JOB!!!
I haven’t heard Rush talk about his wife in months. Something going on there? Maybe he’s grumpy for domestic reasons.
Since you are so good at predicting the future, what are next week’s lottery numbers?
Just because we are not buying what your holiness is selling does not make us liberals. Most of us are far more Conservative than he is and want someone who can get the job done.
Your wimp could not even vote against the Corker bill to stop the Iran deal. Is that your idea of conservative?
He is a sissy get over it. He is all talk and no action and likely bought off by GS.
There are Cruz threads?
Yeah, some news organization found her and she said Trump had balls the size of watermelons. She sounds like a hoot.

I don’t recall seeing Cardinals out here, but when I see a Robin in the yard (not that frequently) I always think of my Mom. When a butterfly goes by, I think she’s saying hi.
Man, the ick factor there is extreme!
