Republican strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox & Friends” Friday that Sen. Bernie Sanders' town hall on Fox earlier this week convinced him that the presidential candidate could win the Oval Office in 2020. He credited Sanders, who is 77 and from Vermont, for going on Fox News. “First of all, the simple fact that he went on” was impressive, Rove said. "Bernie comes on to Fox, and gets the largest viewership of any campaign event thus far.”“That was a smart move on his part,” Rove said. “He says, ‘Everything we propose we’re paying for,’ without telling us that it’s trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars.”Rove said that Trump’s camp seems to view Sanders as a formidable contender for 2020.
