Joe Manchin: “We ought to be pushing the Canadians and the new Prime Minister towards a much healthier defense budget.”

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

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

We don't even have a budget anymore.

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.
