Bernie Sanders and the socialist label problem
(10/28/15 11:59pm)
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has breathed life into a campaign season that once seemed highly predictable. In an election cycle that once appeared to be a victory lap for centrist Hillary Clinton, Sanders has offered a true challenge for the Democratic presidential nomination. But Bernie Sanders faces a huge problem that could possibly be a deathblow to his campaign: his self-identification as a socialist. Before you hastily type a letter to the Alligator, I know Sanders considers himself a "democratic socialist," and it differs from other branches of socialism. From where I’m standing, however, he isn’t much of a socialist at all.
Life lessons learned from flip phones
(10/27/15 12:30am)

Rand Paul: the presidential candidate GOP needs
(04/06/15 1:17am)
According to many news sources, Sen. Rand Paul will be announcing his candidacy for president Tuesday and will then engage in a five-state, five-day announcement tour. Paul, who is the son of former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, is an ophthalmologist-turned-politician who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010 and has not been one to shy away from controversy. While many Republicans go with the flow of the Grand Old Party and often do not hesitate to inflate the deficit or ignore major problems, Paul has been one of the few shining stars of the party. He addresses the concerns of middle-class Americans, and his commitment to libertarian conservatism and advancing liberty makes him stand out from the crowd.
