Best-selling author Marianne Williamson has laid off her entire campaign staff, according to two sources close to the campaign.

The longshot Democratic presidential hopeful will continue to seek her party’s nomination. But she’ll do so without a staff behind her. Manchester, N.H.-based television station WMUR first reported the mass layoffs on Thursday.

Williamson, an author and celebrity spiritual adviser, has been campaigning for the Democratic nomination for nearly a year. But she has struggled to break out of the lower tier of the primary field, often failing to register in national polls.

Unlike her middle- and top-tier rivals, Williamson retained only a small staff. Her latest federal financial report filed in October showed only a few dozen employees on her team. Among those laid off was campaign manager Patricia Ewing.

The unemployment office for Democrat Campaign staffers has a Bloomberg For President sign hanging over the door.

Too bad.

I kinda liked her, and her oddball notions.

[SkyDancer]

I wonder how much she owes her staff and when they’ll be paid if so.

[traderrob6]

I have absolutely no idea who she is and don’t believe I’ve ever even heard of her prior to this article.

She has replaced her campaign manager with a healing crystal.

It can't hurt.

Who?

[laplata]

She’s an attractive woman for her age. But many women become more attractive as they age..

[Fido969]

They were getting paid in joints and hashish. She just ran out of dope.

[GnuThere]

They will be paid in the essential oil of their choice.

Hope those staffers know how to code... ;-)

Oh Noes! Marianne we hardly knew ye!

It's all magical thinking, sunshine and unicorns until the money runs out. 🌈Kind of sums her up.

also sums up hippy dippy liberal thinking in a nutshell.

Another one bites the dust. Hey!

[EandH Dad]

She was my favorite. Really wanted her to debate Trump. It would have been a train wreck but an entertaining one.

"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” ― Marianne Williamson Someone reminded her of that quote; then she thought: "Huh, things really are good -- why would I want to run against Trump? Oh, joy!".

Who?

[fwdude]

Same here. Never heard of her (???) and couldn’t care less.

[mrsmel]

She’s a new ager flake.
