Joe Manchin: “I really believe we are missing a golden opportunity if we do not get back in action.”

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.

We’re trying to build a true independent network.

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

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