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 nationâthirty 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.
Thanks for sharing :)
One of my favs is : Who is going to build the wall? and the crowd fills in the answer
It was a Rotary Club lunch meeting. Check out the video. Bush did not handle it well.
Of course Cruz wants him to.
It’s the only time he ever gets any attention!
Excellent idea!
Thanks for the insider info :)
Would the shirts fit cats?
Just thanked Willie Robertson.
Thanking Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty now. He is friend of Trump’s son Don.

“I may not know every terrorist’s name, but they’re going to know mine.”
Trump used to be ahead of Cruz in TX... so that’s not good.
That’s a good one.
did Trump say "that's what happens when it's your money?!" Because that's very well said. An excellent point!
Trump is having so much fun tonight.
