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.

Sometimes the females will have that Gray/Orange look to them. The males are always bright colored.

“...Since we discuss anything and everything in the run up to Trump’s rally.”

Last night, I woke up and noticed this lump. Anyone have an idea what it might be?

VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Dear Friend,

What a victory! Because of your incredible support, for which I am so thankful, this nation is now one step closer to strength, security and economic success.

I want to thank my family, campaign staff, hardworking volunteers, and every resident of New Hampshire who went to the polls and voted. I am touched and inspired by your spirit, patriotism, and desire to Make America Great Again.

This win is just the beginning. In order to secure the nomination, I need your help. If you would like to volunteer with the campaign and help make victories possible in other states, please click here.

Without your passion and dedication, I would not be able to share my vision with people all across the county. With your help, we will make the country stronger and better than ever before. We are going to start winning again! We will win on trade, on immigration, on the military, on jobs and on so much more. Together, we will Make America Great Again!

Best Wishes and Sincere Thanks,

Donald J. Trump

I think you have to have some intimidation factor with the media.

To be fair, the most intimidating politician with the media is Obama. He picks his interviews and his questions, then chastises anyone who crosses him. He’s worse than Carter in that regard.

Trump, gives interviews to all stations, all interviewers unless they have some hidden agenda which is obvious, as in the Kelly Megyn thing. Her agenda is to make debate about her.

I did a little research, and it looks like you have a rare bird there, but one that’s been identified.

I can’t believe I used to like Megan Kelly. Had to turn her off Last night. She had on every Trump bashing candidate and pundit she could scare up and let em rip on Trump. I hope her ratings take a hit.

Ping thanks!! Anticipating if TRiUMPh

mentions Ford and the massive amount of monies sent to Mexico by illegal aliens illegally living in the USA tonight. He should - if only to make the low info voter aware of the dire situation we face as a nation. Go TRiUMPh

Speaking of focus groups, I saw a replay of one this morning on Morning Joe.

Ten SC evangelicals. The facilitator showed nothing positive about Trump, but showed them clips of him mouthing the F word, and saying some other questionable words. They were astonished. Some ladies might’ve clutched their pearls if they’d had them.

After that, he asked them who they were voting for. They said they thought Trump would win, but they were voting for Cruz. Reasons: In church, they were encouraged to vote for Cruz. Cruz is a Christian. The mouth breathers they chose make the rest of us evangelicals look horrible.

Well, if Cruz does win, I hope they’ll be happy with their smarmy preacher-boy president who resorted to cheating and lying to achieve his goal. I so hope the group isn’t a true indicator of the whole state’s population.

Did he actually say the F-bomb? It’s been posted here that HE DID NOT.
