Jane Sanders, Bernie Sanders’ wife and chief policy advisor, talks with Sally Mauk about what she’s learned on the campaign trail, the conduct of supporters, and sustaining a political movement.

"When I go to the rallies with Bernie, aside from being proud of him or inspired by him — which I still am — I am inspired by the people. When we walk away, we feel such a sense of responsibility, and we are humbled by the experience almost without exception. Looking at how hopeful, how wonderful, how committed the people in the crowds are; the ideas the have, their real desire to be involved in a vigorous, and rigorous I guess, democracy."
