Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson announced that she is officially suspending her campaign.
"I ran for president to help forge another direction for our country. I wanted to discuss things I felt needed to be discussed that otherwise were not. I feel that we have done that," she wrote to supporters on her website in an entry published on Friday.
The best-selling self-help author vowed to stay in the race following a mass lay-off her national campaign staff, leaving her with just a "skeletal staff "and her long-time assistant who stepped in to be her Interim campaign manager.

Wer?
I am saddened to learn that one of the most competent, most genuine, most intelligent, and most sane of the Democratic Party’s candidates has dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination.
wish the left would support her and donate to keep her in- the entertainment value is worth the price
Good catch!
“”There is a great disturbance in the Force.” “I have felt it.” Not.
Who?
And the beat goes on..........

Dear Friend,
I ran for president to help forge another direction for our country. I wanted to discuss things I felt needed to be discussed that otherwise were not. I feel that we have done that.
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. The primaries might be tightly contested among the top contenders, and I dont want to get in the way of a progressive candidate winning any of them.
As of today, therefore, Im suspending my campaign.
My deepest gratitude to those of you who supported my candidacy for all these months. The ideas we discussed are important, and I hope theyll find seed in other ways and in other campaigns. From rescuing underserved, at risk and traumatized children; to proactively waging an agenda for peace and making humanity itself Americas greatest ally; to integrative health models within our health care system and incentivizing health; to reparations to achieve deeper reconciliation between races; to repudiating the corporate aristocracy; to the creation of a more mindful politics; to changing from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line; to initiating a season of moral repairwe brought issues to the fore that I hope contributed to the campaign season. I remain as committed to them going forward as I was on the day we began.
I learned many things about America during this campaign. Im more convinced than ever that were a good and decent people, that democracy matters, and that what our country has always stood for is worth struggling for. I will continue in that struggle, and I know that you will too.
To our dedicated volunteers, generous contributors, and loyal staff who worked so hardI will hold you in my heart forever. There are no words for how grateful I am for your kindness and generosity. May you be blessed on your journeys as you have so blessed mine.
To the remaining Democratic candidates, I wish you all my best on the road ahead. It was an honor being among you. Whichever one of you wins the nomination, I will be there with all my energy and in full support.
Finally, these are not times to despair; they are simply times to rise up. Things are changing swiftly and dramatically in this country, and I have faith that something is awakening among us. A politics of conscience is still yet possible. And yes .love will prevail.
With all my heart I thank you, Marianne

Who?
CSPAN had a bunch of “experts” (aka lefty hacks) discussing the Democratic primary.
They explained to their seriously stupid audience that foreign policy was now the most important issue to the clear choice will be the foreign policy expert.
Wait for it....
Quid Pro Joe!
The crime family regular Joe.
The gaffe machine Joe.
The groper machine Joe.
That Joe.
You just can’t fix stupid.
