71. I felt the same way about Bernie at first.

Then I saw him start to take the wrecking ball or scorched earth approach to the Democratic party.

Democrats invited the fox into the hen house. But he promised he wouldn't be a spoiler. I'm not sure how he intends to govern (if he is nominated) or function in the Senate (if he is not nominated) after alienating practically everyone in the Democratic party. And it's not likely that his Republican buddy, Senator James Inhofe, will back free college and single-payer health care.
