Joe Manchin: “Manchin reiterated that he won`t lower the 60 vote threshold even if Senate Republicans block an independent commission…”

We don't even have a budget anymore.

The way the parties have weaponized the political process today, they make it impossible to have a 'D' or an 'R' next to your name and speak to the other side.

My observation, and recommendation from observation, would be, John, trust me, set yourself free and become an independent.

When you like both people and both sides, you can sit down with both sides, you can agree to disagree, you can try to find compromise and make things happen.
