While Trump’s misogynistic tendencies took up much of the media’s time this weekend, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigned on, aiming to pick up delegates in Kentucky and Oregon on Tuesday. While the GOP may be in the midst of a raging Trumpster fire, and entertainers from Patrick Stewart to Jennifer Lawrence may be noting how awful he is, Americans in general, still seem to think America hasn’t stopped being great.
