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.
My battery died on both devices. Forgot I’d turned the power strip off when leaving house this AM. Oh well. Heard first few minutes. Crowd was FAN tastie and I got a good 7 hours of sleep. First time in weeks.
Go Trump! Go!
My favorite line of entire election thus far is :
“You’ve been Repremanded !”
Can’t even think about it without laughing out loud. It’s such a put down of MSM and P C
The man is so quick on his feet and fun
We are going to enjoy making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Loved that group. We met every night. Need to continue this group after inaugeration Dad always called it AMERICA s backyard fence. He would actually ask how certain freepers were and if they had signed in yet. That’s how the entire BC got started. An Freeper gave first hand knowledge of her time in Kenya as a missionary and a few started hunting for physical documentation to support her memory in court. We’ve known from beginning it where it would be registered
I thought I’d saved that animation; I know I did. Can’t find it now. Too many PC changes between now and then. Hilarious!
Sure wish we had SW Air out of Knoxville!
Trump in Tampa today. The “whatcha can’t bring in” list is longer than the article.
Better yet — have your neighbor listen to the rally with you. It’s a win-win. He’ll enjoy it, or he’ll leave.
“we have a heavenly home. We look towards the life to come. And you?”
This world is not MY home (either)
I’m just a-passin’ through.
And... I’m a happy, happy Christian.
“...in case we do a FReeper Trump inauguration repeat!!”
Kristinn - weren’t you the big organizer for the 2001 event?
“We are all speaking Trump, now!!”
Did you catch the moderator on Fox 10 Phoenix last night waiting for the event to begin? She was requesting Tweets from people to let her know their best Trump line/quite. Pretty funny.
I didn’t believe your poll numbers.
Today’s link to tonight’s Tampa Bay rally will be posted after noon time.

I’ll have an interesting trivia that focuses a little on the South Carolina primary. Very interesting as the top vote getter is assured a certain number of the total, which is 50, BUT ADDITIONAL DELEGATES ARE AWARDED BASED ON THE WINNER OF EACH OF THE 7 DISTRICTS.
So, potentially, all 50 delegates will go to one person. Why is this important? Because if Cruz or Rubio run in second place, they may have some bragging rights, but they might not have one single delegate!!!!!
Ok...
“Plus, he’s a phony...and a big blow hard.”
I thought last night’s rally was great. He will get better and better the more he wins.
Thanks.
5 of the last 6 South Carolina primaries picked the eventual nominee. IT’S A VERY VERY IMPORTANT PRIMARY.
ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHO WANTS IT THE MOST?

Hey, Nan! It’s good to see you! I suspect many of the old timers have changed their names, so I love seeing old friends who are still here. :-)
Thanks for the shout-out.
Did you see this Cruz ad on Trump?
Trump has stopped the negative ads, but Cruz posts this one about “Trump’s pattern of sleaze.” He brings up the lady having her home bulldozed down so Trump could have a parking lot for his casino.
The ad is misleading.
Cruz is looking more like a sleaze bag, daily it seems.
