Joe Manchin: “We have got to look at how did we become the most addicted nation on earth.”

We don't even have a budget anymore.

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

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.
