Ed Schafer helped usher in the current era of Republican dominance in North Dakota when he was elected Governor back in the early 1990s.

How does he feel about the Trump era, and the strife and faction now dividing his party?

We'll talk about it on this episode of Plain Talk Live.

Also, the Governor weighs in on the just-completed legislative session, the battles between the legislative branch and the executive branch under current Governor Doug Burgum, as well as his thoughts on the way the Legacy Fund is being used.
