Mike Pence: “Bernie Sanders really kind of won over his political party…”

“You know, I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it. But I would often tell people, bernie Sanders, the nicest socialist I ever met. But now Bernie Sanders really kind of won over his political party, and I think that's noteworthy. But on the Republican side of the aisle, in my book, I also point out that there's a new threat to that traditional conservative agenda, and that is the rise of the populist right that embraces protectionism, isolationism, marginalizes values.” (05:02–05:08)
