Joe Manchin: “We are looking for every way possible not to repeat the mistakes of that type of a contract.”

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.

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.

They don't believe in these extreme causes and going to the extreme mats and fighting each other and hating the other side.
