Those were a few of the answers Sanders gave to Ellen DeGeneres during his appearance on her show, taped Wednesday.

Show host Ellen DeGeneres tweeted a short clip of the Democratic presidential candidate doing a little two-step as he waited to make his entrance.
He came out dancing to “Disco Inferno”.
The two talked about a few of the issues that were brought up during the debate, including Sanders’ comments on the Hillary Clinton private email server scandal.
“I think what you said about Hillary and the e-mails, you said, ‘This may not be political…’ and I think that’s the exact thing that people are sick of, is people being political”, she said.
“You’re dancing Bernie. That’s fantastic”, DeGeneres said.
“I’ve never run a negative political ad in my entire life and I’ve been attacked a lot”, Sanders said.
DeGeneres later got even more personal, asking, “Boxers or briefs?”
Sanders and DeGeneres went on to talk about taxes and corporate greed, but the highlight of the interview was a final lighting round of questions she conducted with Sanders.
– What Republican presidential candidate he’d want to be stuck on a deserted island with.
Sanders also offered a suggestion for what a Ben & Jerry’s flavor inspired by him could be called: “Burn, Bernie, Burn”. “I take it to mean, was I ever arrested by the police”.
– What karaoke song would he sing. “Stayin’ Alive”, or, as he called it, “John Travolta walking down the street”.
