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.

These people are often emotional types...they rely on ‘feelings’ and or positive /negative ‘energy’ to determine their spirituality and lifestyle probably as much.

Williamson has made her living ‘Selling this mumbo-jumbo” in her boks and speaking engagements. Hollywood nutcases think she’s wonderful of course. She’s actually one of Oprahs personal ‘guides’....

It’s all just rubbish!
