LIVE THREAD:Donald Trump rally in Baton Rouge 2/11/2016 @ 7pm (CST)
The Right Side ^

Posted on 02/11/2016 4:59:52 AM PST by nikos1121

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."

THE BATON ROUGE RIVER CENTER

At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.

I think that you had better take this up with the BIG BOSS here.

Rally threads are ONLY for the supporters of the candidate who is having the rally. Trolls, such as yourself, whose only purpose to be on such a thread is to disrupt, insult, impugn, and cause flame wars, aren't allowed on them.

I've been posting here since 1998; you've only been here since 2009. I know the rules here far better than you do.

There are only TWO "caucus threads" here; one is to vote for the candidate you support, the other one is to discus a problem or ask a question about the first thread....THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS !

Look n00b, this IS what FR has been like since 1998.

Though I must say that it is posters such as yourself, who has brought the level of discourse waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. Get over yourself.

These threads are open threads....who do you think you are to give anyone a “final Warning” threat? I have seen no rules that Trump, Cruz, or Rubios, or for that matter any other threads are off limits. Please do show me otherwise. Waiting.

I watch but I’m not fast enough these days to watch and post on FR, at the same time.

I often go back to the threads to read posts before and after I listen to his rally.

I really do believe, he can Make America Great Again!

I pray he does!

I was for the 2005 ball. Others mostly gone were in the lead on the 2001 ball.
