I went from dislike to extreme dislike post this comment of his and the Dick Cheney comparison.

I've had Bernites try to tell me that "establishment" isn't an insult and he's always voted for PP. Possibly true, but he seems to have a problem with not writing off people and organizations who aren't completely with him, so I doubt he'd fight that much for them.

Over at the big LBGT blog I read, opinions are about fifty-fifty for each candidate--for the audience tilt, that's a weak response for Sanders.
