Who Is Marianne Williamson, 2020 Presidential Candidate and Also Oprah's Spiritual Advisor?

Ms. Williamson will be on the dais as one of the democrat candidates. I had never heard of her, (though, that doesn't signify). This article seems to be a non-opinionated biography.

For the cynical, she would be labeled a loosey,goosey liberal, for those who are ATTEMPTING
to find a workable solution to the sad saga of today's state of the world,she would be labeled
a leading example....think Martin Luther King or DALAI LAMA....from ''little book of wisdom''..
''for change to happen in a community,the initiative must come from the individual''. I believe
the individual is the key to the rest.''

does she have a realistic shot at the POSTUS.....no,because the masses are not ready. jmo

I suppose it’s kind of fun to watch and see who’s in and who’s up but none of these candidates have the slightest chance of beating Trump.

Yes, it is the masses who are out of step. It is only you few who are trying to find a solution to ...?

to answer your question....here is a Q & A session with the Holiness ,the Dalai Lama....(from the little book of wisdom)....

Q. I understand how my own mind and actions can affect my causes and conditions. Can they also affect WORLD conditions like hunger, poverty and other sufferings of human beings everywhere?

A.'' Sometimes we feel that one individual action is insignificant. But the movement of the society,community or group of people means JOINING individuals. Unless EACH individual develops a sense of responsibility ,the whole community cannot move. So therefore it is essential that we should not feel that individual effort is meaningless......we should make an
effort.''

Will anyone in tonight's (Thursday) democrat debate top this proposal from Julian Castro:
"I don't believe only in reproductive freedom. I believe in reproductive justice," Castro said to applause from the Miami audience. "What that means is that just because a woman—or let's also not forget someone in the trans community, a trans female—is poor, doesn't mean they shouldn't exercise that right to choose. So I would absolutely would cover the right to have an abortion."

Comments regarding outlier democrat candidates, notably Michael Bennet.

You know how when people compare Trump to a generic Democrat in polls, people say there’s no such thing as a generic Democrat? It turns out they’re wrong; Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet is the generic Democrat. Few surprises, standard talking points and party consensus viewpoints, delivered in the baritone that actors use when they play senators in the movies. He would be a pretty strong candidate in normal times. This era is nothing like normal times.
It’s a shame Andrew Yang couldn’t be there tonight. . . . Oh, he was on stage? I must have blinked too many times. The man with a million ideas literally got three minutes over two hours to pitch his ideas. This is an egregious mismanagement of the debate by MSNBC, and the Yang Gang has every right to be livid over this.

I wonder if non-Republicans felt about Donald Trump in 2016 the way I, and it seems quite a few other conservatives, feel about Marianne Williamson. Marianne, you beautiful lunatic. Every time you spoke, I didn’t know whether you were going to do a rain dance, cast a hex, or hold a seance. On those rare moments you got a chance to talk, I leaned forward because I had no idea what kind of absolute insanity was going to come out of your mouth. It was as riveting as a hostage situation. She contends American have chronic illnesses because of “chemical policies,” she wonders where the rest of the field has been for decades (er, in public office), and her first call will be to the prime minister of New Zealand, and she wants to harness the power of love for political purposes. In many ways, she is exactly the candidate that today’s Democratic party deserves.
