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.

We have different birds up here in the Pacific NW. I love the little chickadees, occasionally get finches in the bird feeder and sometimes hummingbirds - I need to plant a new bush for them this year. One flew right up to my face a couple of years ago - I don’t know who was more surprised - him or me.

Trumps plane was late and there was a line three quarter of mile long still trying to get in.

Dear Catfish, We don’t go to Cruz Rally/Event threads—just Cruz topic threads—there is a difference Capiche??

This is a rally thread—not a thread with a topic about Trump. Please go back to the Cruz event thread.

Trump said he was waiting for you to get here.

Trump flew in late, but there is a huge line waiting to get in—trying to get the folks in.
