Joe Manchin: “When are we ever going to stop giving equipment to the people that will not defend it and fight for it?”

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

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.

We don't even have a budget anymore.

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