(23,364 posts)But, can she run a country?
If she wins the Dem nomination, I'll vote for her in the general. That is all.

(7,396 posts)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.

(14,971 posts)because of the 12 books shes 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. Shes 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.

(7,638 posts)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.
