5:28Now PlayingSenator Bernie Sanders proved on Monday evening that he is definitely the one to beat in the Democratic primary after performing well above expectations at a Fox News townhall. Not only did Bernie come across as sincere and intelligent, but he also got the audience to understand that we are all fighting for a better future – a future that includes Medicare For All, which the audience cheered for. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

When Senator Bernie Sanders announced that he was going to be doing a town hall on Fox News. You had a lot of people on the left pretty angry about it. They couldn't understand why a not a Democrat, I guess because that's what they like to say about him. Why somebody like that would go on Fox News and you're just legitimizing the network and there are so horrible and yes they are. And last night during Bernie Sanders town hall, he made a point to tell them how horrible they are. That takes a lot of courage to go on stage with host from a network and let them know that you do not respect their network because they lie to their viewers and act as a propaganda arm for the Trump administration. I don't think there's a lot of Democrats out there who would have the courage to go on stage in their faces with the Fox News hosts and tell them that, but Bernie did.
And more importantly than just pointing out the fact that the network is a giant pile of trash up. Bernie got people onto his side burning, answered questions. Bernie talked policy. Bernie did what every single democratic candidate should be doing. He talked to people, he talked to them in simple terms and they understood it and they embraced it and they liked it. When Bret Bair, one of the moderators of this town hall, Fox News host asked the audience how many would support Medicare for all rousing applause through that audience. Bret Baier was not expecting that the Fox News people were not expecting their viewers, their audience, and yes, there were plenty of Democrats in there too, but they still weren't expecting them to start cheering for Medicare for all later on in the debate or town hall shoes. Me, Bernie goes on to talk about things like infrastructure to which everybody agreed living wage to which everybody agreed.
