break at iowa's maximum security facility in fort madisoso and it sounds like it's straight out of a hollywood movie. movie.guards say inmate justin kestner missed a head count. prison officers went to his cell where they found a. elorate disguise under the bed sheets - to look like he was sleeping.apparently kestner crawled out a shower pipe into the attic - then the roof - and out of the prison unnoticed.he was later found near interstate 80. 80.an investigation into the escape found procedures were t followed.leaders say those mistakes are now corrected and additional security measures are in place. turning to tonight's vote 20-16 coverage... coverage...we are still more than a year away from presidential election.so far, this eleion cycle has beeee defined by "protest candidates" who don't exactly fit the mold of your typical politician.fox 28 news reporter kevin barry sat down with one of them, democrat senator bernie sanders, to find out why he's doing so well. well.

ononhe republican side, the best known "protest candidate" is donald trump. but for the democrats, even after 35 years in politics some people think senator bernie nders is on the outside looking in. but he disagrees. there's no denying - when bernie sanders first jumped in - he was just as far behindhillary clinton as everyone else - with single digit polling in the early ststes. i thoughghfrom the very beginning that we had a shot to win this thing, but we came in clearly as an underdog. and one who freely calls himself a socialist.but in the democratic deba, he said all he'd have to do is explain what that means. how do y explain that when so many people are turned off at the door at the word socialist. that's a great question. number 1 were going to give a big speech in nthe coming weeks defining what i mean. he points to programs like social security and public libraries that already

embody those technically social ideas. so i think there is something to be learned from other countries just as they learn from us. so while the idea of "protest candidates" who o e picking up support from people fed up with establishment politics might be the phrase of the 2016 run for the white house - sanders says it no longer applies to him. if the election were today, no question we would not win, but i think the momentum is with us a a i think we've gone from a fringe candidate to a candidate who stands a chance to win. coming up at the bottomf the hour, senator sanders weighs in on the impact that colle students cod have on the 2016 election and why his message is a best suited for them. in
