Harrisburg, PA
(Pennsylvania German: Harrisbarig) is the capital city of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the county seat of Dauphin County. With a population of 49,673, it is the tenth-largest city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg's site is thought to have been inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BC. The first European contact with Native Americans in Pennsylvania was made by the Englishman, Captain John Smith, who journeyed from Virginia here in 1608 and visited with the local tribe. In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg. In the spring of 1785, the town was formally surveyed by William Maclay, who was a son-in-law of John Harris, Sr. In 1791, Harrisburg became incorporated and was named the Pennsylvania state capital in October 1812, and has been since.

You’re quick. I just posted the same thing further down the thread. Sorry, didn’t mean to step on what you already had done.
It’s pretty cool though.
My blood sugar spiked just looking at that picture!
Shouldn’t you be praying to your messiah Saint Cruz? If there ever was a cult personality it is him. The holiest of holy Conservatives according to you sanctimonious Cruzies.
Pray America wakes
No problem, friend!
That video is worth repeating, believe me.
Folks here in DE may be doing the same thing tomorrow.
It was heartwarming to see folks lined up at intersections cheering for Trump.
Last night I caught a glimpse of Jonah Goldberg last night as I was channel surfing. He might have been on the Kelly File, he was saying that he didn’t think Trump had helped himself very much by winning NY.
I couldn’t believe my ears, here this pompous a$$ saying that winning a huge landslide victory over Kasich and Cruz, and winning 90 or 91 delegates, completely shutting out Cruz, was no big deal.
I suppose Goldberg will be on next week announcing that Trump winning all 5 primaries was “no big deal” as well.
Their fervor is what makes them Cruzlims who are simply worshipping prophet Lying Ted.. Piss be upon him.
I know how you feel. I wasn’t paying attention to Trump when he came to Nashville last summer; I was when he came to Millington this past February. So, I got to drive 270 miles there, spend the night, and drive 270 miles back!
ACK! Carbs!!
Morning. Up and ready for another rally! Can understand why the lady in line had traveled to three. LOL I actually know a trivia question. NEWT!
Gonna get a few yard signs out in friends yards this morning BBL
Is that impressive.
I thought the same thing. THe TV was on in the other room, and he was mocking Trump.
I hate the way these people think and talk. They are pompous and condescending, in their own little worlds.
Folks, if being conservative means we are like the Ted Cruz’s and the Jonah Goldberg’s and GEorge Will’s, then I’m definitely NOT conservative.
ha!
Okay, so who are you voting for, Poodle? Or, are we going to sit this one out if it’s Trump?
If Cruz fails to get more votes than Trump in Indiana, it still won't be over. The script just shifts to western states.
I don't see support for Cruz utterly collapsing. There is a pretty good population of party-loyalists, and some additional votes from people who truly see Cruz as good, outsider, presidential material.
Here’s the fifty nifty states list. We’ve added a couple more states. Anyone wanted on private mail please as today putting up a few yard signs is on the schedule !

I’m assuming that you missed JimRob’s thread yesterday about ‘Trump is presumptive nominee-let’s unite’?
If not, you might want to check it out. You might even want to repeat your post from here to there.
Go ahead. I dare you.
Captain John Smith never visited the site of Harrisburg. He met a group of Susquehannocks where the Susquehanna River empties into the Chesapeake Bay. From there he took a canoe trip up river to a series a falls next the modern day town of York Haven where he stopped.
Yes, I’m afraid I’m going to have to pass on Dinesh Souza’s new movie based on the trailer where Goldberg obviously has involvement (based off the Trailer view).
Disappointed, but I’ll live ~
Also, hearing that Cruz Senior is who Dinesh chose to officiate his recent marriage was sour news to me :/
Ted is dead...
