A Gainesville woman was arrested early Sunday morning after police said she hid crack in her belly button and a crack pipe in her crotch.
What a time to be alive, indeed: Although most weekends are marked by a pronounced lack of newsworthy stories, last Saturday, both the Republican South Carolina primary and the Democratic Nevada primary produced more than a few headlines worthy of the nation’s attention. On the Democratic side of the aisle, Hillary Clinton scored her first decisive primary victory over Bernie Sanders in Nevada, reminding those “feeling the Bern” that no matter how hot the fire, an individualistic flame can still be put out by the overwhelming coldness of an icy political titan. Meanwhile in South Carolina, Saturday saw trust fund baby and rotting racist orange peel Donald Trump handily win the primary with 32.5 percent of the vote.

I don’t like Donald Trump. It’s pretty easy not to; the guy is a xenophobic, classist egomaniac. The only thing more obscene than the things he says is the height of his wispy, golden mane — which I’m convinced grows in direct proportion to the amount of attention he receives. Yet what scares me the most about Trump isn’t his call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., nor is it his proposed $8 billion wall along the border of Mexico: It’s his sensationalism and what it means for the future of American politics.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Donald Trump may seem extremely different in their views, but they are noticeably similar in their public appeal. Bernie is a democratic socialist who favors the European socialist way of running government, which involves government-imposed wealth equality via hefty taxes. Trump lies on the opposite end of the spectrum, believing in the magical powers of capitalism and pure competition. That’s right — a democratic socialist and the single-most capitalistic name in history could be duking it out this November. We may be in for quite the show.
