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.

Nope, they just sat back down. Apparently, Trump is running late.

One Robertson endorsed Cruz, the other Trump.

Play both sides and protect the family business.

I think that Si going on stage with WIlie and Trump and being a complete goof would be detrimental to the campaign.

Yes! I read a post earlier mentioning robins. I have tons of them in my yard every spring cleaning up the crab apples on the ground. They get practically loopy from them. lol

Yes - I noticed them and thought they looked so nice.

Though, I think the kids with the shirts with T R U M P and capes on the other day were really cute. I didn’t even mind the young guys that had bare chests each with a letter spelling out TRUMP. Creative kids
