Ms Noems interview with Dana Bash on State of the Union covered a wide range of topics given that the governor is seen as a leading contender to be Donald Trumps running mate.

These people don't care anymore about states' rights than they do about voting rights. It's all just a tool to maintain power and suppress the will of a progressive majority.
