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

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.

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

I will make a decision in January -- at the end of this year.
