Bernie Sanders' ideas are spreading. Midterms are proof

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) discusses the midterm election results and the wave of economic populist candidates who won in Texas, Michigan, Montana and Wisconsin.  Then, Democrats' midterm victories suggest a shift in the electorate. What do exit polls reveal about the voters and issues driving the results? We talk with Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, about the election's key takeaways.  And, voters made it loud and clear that healthcare was one of their top priorities this midterm election. Romero Turner of Kirkland, Washington, can appreciate why, as he juggles the cost of his own cancer remission. He joins us to share his story, and two experts weigh in on solutions going forward in a divided government.
