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.
It is sad that Sarah Palin’s “fight like a girl” mantra is more manly than the GOP-e.
He may have been an impressive debater on the college circuit, but not on the campaign trail. However, he doesn’t have the force of personality to back up his many words. Trump takes charge and is clearly the alpha male in this group.
Bush on now, “Trump’s not a real conservative, I am”. These guys are giving me a headache with their talking points.
Team CRuz and his data mining machine are busy!!!
Men are supposed to apologize for being men since of course women are the superior sex in America. The real war in America is on White Men and Trump nukes that.
Do any of you have any idea what the big surprise might be in Tampa tomorrow? Some big announcement.
The only thing I could think of is some General from MacDill.
Gawwwd, it better not be Charlie Crist !!!!!
Watching Bush on Greta. What an utter jerk. Speaks like a petulant little child - blaming everyone else for the fact that he sucks as a candidate.
“We need someone to focus on creating unity.” Yeah. Maybe you’ve done that, Jeb. Both Trump and Cruz supporters have united in wishing you would take your sorry ass back to Florida and never be heard from again.
What time does this begin?
8:00 EST
That would be the proof I need right there that I backed the right candidate.
But, we had a good reason to go. Wife wanted a Doberman puppy almost two years ago, so we acquired Cadbury (He is brown!). Now, she has decided that Cadbury needs a "girl". So, as the saying goes "happy wife, a happy life!".
Cadbury, meet Hershey, our newest family member!!!
Any candidate that needs to keep telling everyone he is a conservative, probably isn’t.

What you talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?
How precious. Touch nose and then sniff. Sniff !
Love to watch a puppy bond with older dog
Jeb Bush finally finds his message: He’s the anti-Trump
Oh yes!
Those dinner table debates could last for hours and takes lots of twists and turns.
I always walked away learning something. Sometimes it felt like I had a black eye (metaphorically) but it was definitely a honing experience.
Trump attacks “political correctness”. I maintain that is America’s number one problem. We neuter the PC crowd and the other problems will be much easier to solve. Trump’s actions are lending courage to many others to finally speak out. That’s what leaders do. Reagan did it.
Yes, lack of personality and a very annoying nasal voice. From watching him at the debates, I got the impression he is enamored with himself. I can see him doing brilliantly in a Court of law, otherwise...If Trump had not run, we would have Jebbie dominating, the darling of establishment and media.
“> Trump replies, “I don’t know. I can’t read Hebrew.â€
DANG!
That’s a boom!
