Is the enemy of our enemy our friend?

I see a lot of people rallying around CNN, but honestly CNN played a big part in electing tRump. As documented here we know the part most news organizations played. So while CNN is the enemy of tRump I'm still not convinced they are our friends.

Here is why Bernie would have won.

Sexism. It has been stated how badly sexism hurt Hillary this election cycle - and I believe that to be true. Bernie would not have had to contend with that issue which would have swayed enough voters to hold the blue wall and rust belt states. The electoral college was narrowly won in a few states by a small number of votes. Sexism certainly contributed more than the margin of victory for tRump!
