Marianne Williamson for president as a Democrat (1/31/2019)





Marianne Williamson, best-selling author and Oprah Winfrey's spiritual guru, is the latest Democrat to jump into the 2020 presidential field, who says she's running to bring a "moral and spiritual awakening" for America.

--One of her policy agendas is 100 billion (over 10 years) in reparations to African Americans.
--Health Care for all.
--Tax cut for middle class
--Free tuition for public colleges
--Green New Deal



A path to get out from under corporate rule and tyranny.

Not another inexperienced, never held elective office, has no idea what it takes but can do it better than anyone narcissist. Especially one who thinks all we need is love, forgiveness, and miracles instead of a nuclear triad. Just no.

But, can she run a country?

If she wins the Dem nomination, I'll vote for her in the general. That is all.

The comments are under the clips about her running for president. There is a group of people very excited about her. That is my point.

because of the 12 books she’s authored. She talks about God a lot and when she ran for Congress in California, one of the most liberal states in the union. she came in fourth place. She’s stated that being a spiritual guru gives her the qualifications to run for President. I think she has a lucrative con going with the guru stuff and should stick to that.

Of self in the political realm hasn't a chance. I mean where is the snarling us vs. them? If you can't divide you can't be a politician.

Besides this will kill her candidacy:
Williamson advocates for an open border immigration policy, stating that as long as individuals are vetted, they should be allowed to move to the United States-Wiki

Even though I agree that countries shouldn't enslave their citizens to a border confine, she'll be killed on that alone.
