As for the name:

A peculiar way to spell peculiar, a character trait of mine that seems to stand out.

and added a few comments about each of them. He spoke about national security. Pointed out that he voted against both Iraq Wars and explained how he would deal with the Middle East himself.

It seems odd to me to oppose a candidate who makes his stances very clear on the major issues in his speeches, statements in Congress and in interviews when you don't know where that candidate stands on the issues.

First rule in politics: inform ourselves.

That must mean he's a racist! Didn't he get the message? Tokenism is definitely in.

Bernie Sanders is what America needs in a big way right now.
President Sanders has a nice ring to it too.

ETA: not only is he exactly what we need he is unflappable too and solid as a rock
