Marianne Williamson

I'm glad she is in the debate. Not sure how she got there, but her contributions are important and distinctive. She basically acknowledges that she wont be there for long, but I'm heartened by her valid and clearly heartfelt causes she is championing.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

"She appeared to oppose mandatory vaccinations when she described them as "Orwellian" and stating "To me, it’s no different than the abortion debate." She later stated that she misspoke, and "I support vaccines. Public safety must be carefully balanced with the right of individuals to make their own decisions." Wikipedia


I understand being skeptical of some vaccines. There are some questionable ones in the pipeline.

I'm glad she's there, too. The candidates should learn from her about how to connect issues to a greater purpose.

Not so much about the love part, though that's probably right.

What I'm referring to is how she talked about the real problem with Trump: he has wormed his way into people's psyches and we need to understand that as a party.

I agree with Williamson here. I want to hear how the nominee will overcome Trump's antics. His stunts. His feral knowledge of how to get attention. That is as critical as any policy proposal.
