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 know I saw it.

Why aren’t there any SC polls?

I’m predicting that Trump will sweep all 50 SC delegates.

The winner gets a guarantee of 29. I don’t see anyone overtaking Trump in the next 8 days, do you?

Secondly, you get 3 delegates for every polling district you win. Potential there of 21.

So, if you are ahead in the state by a lot, which he is, you stand a great chance of carrying every district.

The last 6 primaries there, the winner went on to get the nomination. Only last year with Newt did this not happen.

So sorry but if you want exclusive threads then you need to make it a caucus thread for Trumpsters alone...that’s just how it is.

Not sure what’s going on with the SC polls. Everyone is asking that same question...here, and elsewhere.

If you see something, please ping...and, I’ll do likewise.

That would be YUGE, if Trump swept all 50 delegates!!

LOL...we need to let you set the rules?

Why would you even want to be here? Aren’t there numerous CRuz threads/CRuz rally threads you can post on...where your comments are actually appreciated?

"Evangelists prefer Trump to Cruz by a margin of 10 points- a significant change from Iowa, where Cruz led with evangelical voters by four points. "

That’s certainly nervy....returning to FR, after a long absence, to tell us you think FR has deteriorated.

If you don’t like it, no one is forcing you to stay.

You have all of the markings of a campaign season troll. I suggest you gather your things and leave this thread at once....for good!

About Trump....

I liked him a lot in the beginning...then he kind of got on my nerves with his changes in positions and his childish behavior.

I've always liked Cruz but have also thought that at this point in time that he's not electable. I'll vote for Cruz in the Texas primary....but will likely be forced to hold my nose and vote for Trump in the general election. I'd take Trump any day over what the Dems have to offer.
