Joe Manchin: “And I think, you know, because they were just trying to survive, so the environment took a way, way far back seat.”

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

The pledge is simply this: that you remain independent and not be part of the Democrat or Republican system.

We don't even have a budget anymore.

We’re trying to get a person who can be committed to — and totally committed to – being an independent with an independent voice.
