Joe Manchin: “The politics are so toxic, the more you talk about this party, that party, what candidate and this candidate.”

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

When you like both people and both sides, you can sit down with both sides, you can agree to disagree, you can try to find compromise and make things happen.

We’re trying to build a true independent network.

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