That's about the only thing they agree on mind you.

There are actually quite a few things they agree on, some of the biggest which are:
1. Get (big) money from special interests and corporations out of politics.
2. Level the playing field so that the poor(er) and working class can compete with the rich. They don't agree on how this should be done except for #1.
3. Increase the competitiveness of the united states compared to the rest of the world. Sanders supports want to achieve this with cheap or free education while Trump supporters want to do this with lower taxes.
Further, it's clear that they don't think any change would be good; just witness how hostile the two groups are towards each other.
In my opinion, If Trump somehow manages to get #1 done, he'll probably get a second term, even though it would make it more difficult to get the rest of his agenda done (imagine if politicians actually represented the people who voted for them instead of the people who payed for them)
