WASHINGTON - Marianne Williamson, the self-help guru who warned of the “dark psychic force” unleashed by Republican President Donald Trump, suspended her quixotic outsider campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination on Friday.

Williamson won admirers if not voters with a spirituality-focused campaign that promoted a politics of love and of conscience. She advocated a Department of Peace and embraced an economic justice agenda to repair damage done by so-called trickle-down economics.

“I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible effort to share our message. With caucuses and primaries now about to begin, however, we will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now,” Williamson said in a statement.

The Texas native produced a viral moment during a July debate when she warned of Trump’s “dark psychic force” after Democrats debated their various policy positions.

“If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days,” she said.

Oh noes...

The Manson Girl is gone. Guess it’s back to the Spahn Ranch with her, then?

Yo, the crystals foretold of this, dude!

[DownInFlames]

How much campaign funds did she keep.

[PROCON]

Good grief, now what do I do with all these essential oils I bought?!

[thoughtomator]

and the average level of crazy among Democrats goes... up

[Ezekiel]

Looks like she’s getting way more attention and name recognition than she did as a candidate.

Hmmm, you never know what motivates people to run. Perhaps that was the reason!

Vermont would surely welcome her.

[BipolarBob]

Oh noes!! This is terrible. Wait. Who???

[gundog]

I thought I felt a disruption in The Force.

[dsrtsage]

Loved that show

[Karliner]

Ha ha The divination candidate bites the dust. I’m sure Keith Ellison and Tom Perez are saddened.

She was a long shot to win the nomination, but the faithful following for her spiritual guidance books helped her qualify for early debates in the crowded Democratic contest.

That whittles down to how many clowns in the clown car ? 10? 12? 😆

[1Old Pro]

Cosmic, at least she didn’t blame her lack of support on the impeachment hearings that never occurred, like Spartacus

[Grampa Dave]

[hal ogen]

Yet another LIB/Leftist loser bites the dust. Back to her yurt to chant her mantra and burn incense.

[NativeSon]

Aahhh! Sleestaks!

New Agers believe that there is an energy field, called the force, created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.

I tell you sir, love will win, {when I was younger}.

Love how these politicians always “suspend” rather than “terminate” their campaigns... as if some unexpected groundswell of support is going to cause a Marianne Williamson or Julian Castro or Kamala Harris to come roaring back into the game.
