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.”
It’s clear you’re the miserable, obnoxious person, hellbent on ushering in Sodom and Gomorrah. Homosexuality is sin and it destroys society. Period. Paragraph. End of story
When the Rush Limbaugh how was still looking for a permanent replacement, I heard Buck Sexton’s name and never even heard of Clay Travis. It is weird as I still can’t tell by listening which one is which, but the weird thing is I was originally thinking it was supposed to be Buck Sexton’s show, but the title of the show is the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. How did this unknown guy Clay Travis get top billing over whom I presumed was the actual host of the show?
Brian Kemp? Not just “NO”, but “Hell No”! Kemp would be stabbing Trump in the back AND the front!
I say Kari Lake. She is tough and has the grit to take on issues for the President and then be ready to run for the Presidency in 2028. Heck, Trump could appoint her as the “border czar” and the southern border could actually be secured.
This is an incredibly stupid and self-defeating position. You are not Christians.
wanting gays to run your nation is the epitome of non Christian and wicked. nice try though...fraudster
Hiding behind Christianity to mask your evil intent. THAT’S the epitome of being non-Christian. Faking faith in the eyes of God. He knows what you’re both doing.
Okay, you tell me why you insist on homosexuals running the nation and being in power. Fill me in on what I’m missing as a bible-believing Christian
It will be a woman (I assume a properly defined woman) who will be the VP running mate. Could be Haley, Noem, Lake, or whomever. The latter two are more likely as neither one has entered the race.
You’re a blanket, satan-infused phony Christian. As proof, you completely misstate my meaning and intent. That’s the mark of satan. You wear it proudly.
So you couldn’t even answer the question. Why is that? What is it about people like you that think homosexuals should be in leadership let alone applauded for their lifestyle? They should be counseled and prayed for they should be witnessed too, but they should not be elevated to leadership status by people who don’t even know the word of God. So, do tell, what is it that you think is a great idea about elevating homosexuals into leadership?
Do you really expect me to answer a “When did you stop beating your wife” question? You continue to project—are YOU in fact gay? That would explain a lot of your satan-driven comments.
Dead wrong. A great many evangelicals I knew were pulling the lever for Pence on the ticket, not Trump, of whom they were very wary as a "pro-abortion New York liberal." That wariness disappeared over the course of Trump's first term, but I do not think Trump would have won the 2016 election without Pence.
sounds to me like you’ve been exposed. you refuse to defend your wicked position of pushing the gay agenda on people, particularly on a conservative site.
sad that you can’t even explain yourself after receiving...what...5 tries??
tsk tsk
Sounds to me like you’re hiding your true self. I’ll pray for you.
Hiddi-Please look at post # 13.
I think kristi noehm as she has had executive experience. Kari Lake is running for Senator to take Kiersten Sinema’s spot…we need to take back the senate…
I don’t think so. Too pretty/feminine. The left will eat her up. They’ll do to her what they did to Dan Quayle. Then they’ll bring up the alleged affair like they did with Sarah. She has not been one to throw out provocative statements to suggest she’s a fighter.
I’d pick Rand-Pied piper of conservatism with the libertarian bent.
John Kennedy-just for serious laughs. Like Dick Cheney no upside.
Ben Carson-laid-back to the Trump contrast. Again no to ‘28.
Another requirement: A good debater to take on every democrat POTUS wanna-be.
one at a time while he’s VP. One subject. Rand could be that guy & be there for ‘28.
