Jay talks with Rob Roper about his Maine Republican roots and the party of, then, Senator Bill Cohen and Congresswoman Olympia Snowe, a very different party than the party of Paul LePage. Jay and Rob will use that as a jumping off point to discuss the balance between partisanship and governance.

Rob Roper currently hosts 'Common Sense,' a Vermont radio talk show. Involved in local politics since moving to Vermont in 1998, he has served as a Media Relations officer for a U.S. Senate campaign, was Executive Director for the Vermont Chapter of FreedomWorks, Executive Director for Vermonters for Better Education, Chairman of the Vermont Republican Party.
