You’re sitting alone in your car in Archer Road’s typical rush-hour traffic. As a small commando unit of scooters whizzes by you left and right, you fiddle with the radio, looking for something to listen to. As you’re navigating through the various snippets of sound, one station grabs your attention and demands you to listen. It’s just one man’s voice, chanting something over and over and over again. You find this uncomfortable and unsettling. What is it this strange man chants? Well, dear readers, that something is…
Mike Pence will headline a rally about 60 miles south of UF on Saturday.
Tim Tebow won’t be speaking at this week’s Republican National Convention.
This is it, readers. Spring 2016: We did it — we did the thing. Many of you may still feel weary of the flurry of finals and papers ahead.

Since Donald Trump has been ever-present in the headlines lately, and because most Republicans don’t know whether to endorse him or run in the opposite direction, it is clearly time to discuss Trump’s greatest weakness: his inability to answer questions in a way that shows he has a firm grasp of the issues at hand.
Donald Trump started his campaign being viewed as a joke. No one thought a businessman with no governing experience would ever get this close to winning the nomination. Now, it’s no longer improbable that he will win the nomination. When it comes to delegates, Trump is clearly in the lead after bringing in about 250 delegates on Super Tuesday.
