Joe Manchin: “We are getting penalized for doing the right thing.”

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

We’re trying to build a true independent network.

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

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