It's not every day that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders see eye to eye on an issue. But on Sunday, the two candidates from opposing ends of the political spectrum stood in agreement that former President George W. Bush's Iraq invasion was a serious mistake.

“I would say that the decision—Bush's decision to get us into a war in Iraq unilaterally—was one of the worst foreign policy blunders in the history of the United States. It destabilized the entire region, and led us, in many respects, to where we are today,” Sanders said, appearing on ABC's This Week.
