Marianne Williamson is a long shot candidate to win the Democratic Party's U.S. presidential nomination in 2020 — a long, long, long shot.

The author and speaker from Texas tried to make her pitch to potential voters Thursday in Part 2 of the party's initial debate of the election cycle. Her sound bites — or at least her delivery of them — were reminiscent of a Saturday night WCW show.

Take, for example, this riff on the prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern:

Pretty good promo, right? It was just missing "American Dream."

A segment of Twitter was feeling a similar vibe.

The next round of debates is scheduled for July 30 and 31 in Detroit. If Williamson makes the cut, get ready for some Motor City Mayhem.
