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.
“Those cajuns will fight!”
Oh yeh,,raise Holy Hell they will!
Take back America and make it great again.
Go Trump!
Here is the YouTube link to the live event:
Yes, Louie is sitting beside me ... behaving nicely.
JB took him for a long walk today!
At Trump rally in Tulsa, security was soooo slow.
FOX10 babe is hilarious!
:Black Hawk Down†when they lost feed.
I was thinking - with him being delayed, it allowed more time for the long line of people that were waiting to get it to actually get in. I’ll bet the upper level seats we were noticing earlier will be filled (I hope so anyway so the MSM or another candidate doesn’t use that against him).
“GET THE HELL OF THIS TRUMP RALLY THREAD, YOU STINKING CRUZ TROLL AND TAKE YOUR CRAP BA CK TO WHERE IT BE,LONGS...ON A CRUZ THREAD, WHERE THE REST OF YOU RABID CULTISTS HANG OUT! “
I think the Cruzers draw straws to see which one of them is going to be disruptive on any given day. There are like, what, 6 of them?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
You weren't. Nor were any of us. Reparations would not be a one-time thing....the takers will demand perpetual payments.
OMG. Round and round and round ... arrrgh!
Yes, I have nothing to do. Makes it last longer.
Oh gee...how many of us had martinets for a father? :-)
How great is it that there are so many people outside trying to get in.
The Trump T-shirts for dogs/puppies are high quality, too.
Just like the apparel for men and women!
You will be pleased!
Yeah; I really like her. A Trump fan for sure. Love the Tweets she’s reading.
Have you watched Duck Dynasty and Uncle Si?
Join the club
I’m watching online.....none of my channels are carrying it :(
But, I like watching on Phoenix 10, because this Fox girl cracks me up, with her commentary. She just called Bernie a socialist - she lets loose :)
Get em nopardons!
