43. The strategy you describe so

accurately has totally turned me off.

In the still unlikely event that Bernie is the Dem candidate in the GE, I will support him.

But ... while the cult-like atmosphere around him is not necessarily his fault, I find it very troubling and not conducive to much that is productive other than gathering large crowds.

If it brings more voters into the process who will remain interested and committed to work for good candidates at every level, that's great, and congratulations to him. Such is badly needed. But I don't see a lot of this brouhaha necessarily translating into much other than Bernie fever.
