Marianne Williamson was one of six Democratic presidential candidates polling nationally around 1% or less before Thursday night's debate.

And while the 66-year-old New York Times best-selling author might not see those numbers soar after her performance in the televised Democrat showdown, she was among the most talked about on social media.

The motivational speaker and Texas native went into the contest as arguably the least known of the White House hopefuls.

But her name was soon trending on Twitter after she explained how her spirituality-focused campaign can heal America.

She largely remained sidelined on the stage for the opening exchanges, remaining mostly silent for the first half hour.
