Clay & Buck’ Say Trump’s 2024 VP Pick ‘Seismically’ More Important Than Pence: ‘Anointed Future Leader of the GOP’
The Wrap ^ | June 30, 2023 @ 2:42 PM | Josh Dickey

The “Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” hosts may be a little early to the Donald Trump 2024 Veepstakes party, but when they stumbled upon the topic during a freeform chat Friday, it dawned on the conservative talk radio duo that the choice of Mike Pence in 2016 pales in comparison to what’s ahead for Trump.

“I think Trump’s vice presidential selection is probably the most significant decision he’s going to make, because we know Mike Pence was basically — for Trump, a non-factor,” cohost Travis said. “Right? In terms of, I don’t think he had any impact on how people saw, to a large extent, Trump’s candidacy.”

Sexton, cohost of the conservative talk radio show that’s the heir apparent to Rush Limbaugh, took it a step further, suggesting that Trump’s choice stands to become “the anointed future leader of the GOP.”

The hosts then began to toss around possible candidates, with Travis asking Sexton if there was a person who could actually sway voters to the Republican frontrunner.

“The smartest electoral strategy thing Trump can do to defeat Biden would be to have somebody from — whether it’s in Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan — somebody who could deliver one of those key states as VP. I think that would make sense.”

Both noted that Brian Kemp would be an excellent choice in that vein — if Trump hadn’t picked a fight with the Georgia governor around the 2020 election.

“I think Brian Kemp is a no-brainer VP selection, I just do,” Travis said. “Brian Kemp has a great organization and he is wildly popular. You take Georgia off the board. If you take Brian Kemp, I’m not sure that there’s anybody else out there.”

They also suggested Kari Lake would be an obvious choice — had she actually won the governorship of Arizona, and one fella who actually won his election: “Is it Glenn Youngkin?,” Sexton said. “I don’t know. I mean, Trump’s been attacking him. They don’t have a relationship. It doesn’t seem that’s very strong, and I’m not sure Youngkin could put Virginia in play.”

And that’s where Travis made up his mind about who his pick was — at least as of Friday:

“My top two right now in terms of who I think Trump’s going to pick: Tim Scott and RFK Jr.,” he said. “I still think RFK Jr. is on the horizon for Trump. I still think he would do it.”

Forget RFK. He just said yesterday that he does not agree with Trump on most of the issues. He is a liberal.

Ric Grenell.

I’m not voting for a faggot. There are plenty of heterosexuals that can be VP before we ever need a fag on the ticket.

Trump/Lake.

Two winners who both had their elections stolen from them.

I can't listen to those two more than ten minutes.
What a disgrace to Rush's legacy.

I am not endorsing a RFK pick, but if Trump were to pick him the heads of the Republican establishment would explode. They would be completely shut out of the ticket.

Not just the Republican establishment, but conservatives as well.

How could Trump pick Kennedy anyway? A pro-vaxxer picking an anti-vaxxer.

Sure, where else can people throw around the word “fag” as freely as here?

If Trump were to pick RFK Jr., the media would be full of stories about what a horrible person RFK Jr. is.

Trump doesn't need a VP who would increase his risk of being assassinated, as having a liberal VP would. Presidents often pick running mates who are not viewed by their opponents as someone desirable to have as President--Nixon had Agnew (and might not have had to resign if Agnew had not been forced out), Obama had Biden, and Biden has Kamala.

So you’re giving kemp credit for his covid stuff because that’s the only thing that matters?

And completely disregard all the other crap he’s done and continues to do?

You’re from Georgia?

Ron Johnson sounds good. I would like to see Kari Lake in the AZ governor’s mansion in 2024, but if that doesn’t happen, VP works for me. John Ratcliffe would also be a good choice.

“Freak Kari Lake”

Interesting: I would have said well-spoken, feisty, unwilling to take crap from the legacy media Kari Lack.

Cannot listen to these two. Rush is gone and his replacements are pathetic. Nasality rings foremost, but their delivery is wanting, which brings me to Bongino, another problem child. His “joey bag of donuts” and other idiosyncractic monikers drives me nuts. It is about DELIVERY, content next, but these guys are rank ameuteurs compared to Rush. RIP Rush.

Not conservative enough in some ways but I could also support Tim Scott. He give the race hustlers Hell.
