Joe Manchin: “The sequestration is taking on a whole new life of its own.”

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.

We got a runaway debt. We got inflation that's killing people. We've got an unsecured energy. We have a border that's out of control.

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