Joe Manchin: “The conversions will be done.”

You did not elect the comforter in chief. You elected a basically commander in chief, and he's hit the ground running.

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

Listen, this is not normal. Nothing like this has ever happened before. And we shouldn’t be hating each other.

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