Joe Manchin: “We have to begin confronting those choices today.”

Let me just say that I think what happened is we have a bill that is hard to vote against. It really is. And I understand why there were 73 Senators who voted for it. Senator Cruz has had this and worked diligently for many years on this…

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