Key findings:

Boaty McBoatface might have a better chance of stopping Trump at this point.
Is Trump inciting violence? Responsible for violence? Or making people poll about violence? Sadly, even these questions divide us.
In the coming weeks, we’ll turn to something surprisingly less controversial--the Supreme Court vacancy.
What do women want? Same thing as men.
What do all parents want this Easter? A plan to keep the candy under control. Good luck with that!
