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."

At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.
Cruz saying something stupid. So what is Cruz going to say when he loses South Carolina?

Jeb was giving a speech at a venue and the owner came up and told him the venue was closing and he needed to leave. Really? That’s what Trump just said.

I think Mr. Trump is having the time of his life.

OH YES! For sure ... take your children!
Donald Trump will LOVE that and I’ll wager he will pose for pics with y’all!!!

Trump talking about Iran and the sailors. It reminds me of waiting for Reagan to take office so that he could deal with Iran.
Calls ‘Secretary Kerry grossly incompetent’
He can’t win graciously, he can’t lose graciously.
He needs to go back to the bible and return to a state of GRACE.
I am sending you one now for a test.
Talking about Iran deal now
Trump says he will never call Iran’s head “Supreme Leader”
Trump will never call the head of Iran “The Supreme Leader”...never ever ever!
Cruz will lose Texas.
Soo worth it! I brought my daughter—I said it is the closest that likely she or anyone she knows will ever get to a President :)
We ought to come up with a Trumpisms game. Every time he utters a Trumpism we need to post something.
Trump warning us again...about the stock bubble...we’re in a big one....watch.
You think so?
How come?
