Joe Lieberman: “It is critical that we rise above partisan politics and take the long-term view in meeting the many foreign and domestic…”

We got into this because our members about a year-and-a-half ago said to us, oh, my God, another Trump-Biden match. It's not good for the country. It offers no hope of bringing bipartisanship back to Washington regardless of who wins.

I think this is a unique moment in history, where the American people are so fed up with the two parties and the two logical probable candidates that they're going to welcome a bipartisan unity third choice on the ballot.

No right is more precious in a free country than that of having a voice in the election of those who make the laws under which we must live.

We're going to ask the delegates on Friday, do you want us to go forward to do some final surveying of public opinion because we've said we're not going to do this unless we have a chance to win.
