Summary

Clay is live in Milwaukee as the GOP candidates prepare for tonight's debate opposite the no-show top dog, Donald Trump, who may look at this as an audition to select a vice president. Clay wonders how strong Trump's shadow will loom at the debate. Callers give their take. There's no covering up that Biden can't do this job after Hawaii. WISN's Dan O'Donnell joins Clay to talk about the key swing state. Clay thanks the live audience and O'Donnell for Clay's fantastic Milwaukee Pabst Theater event last night that was an exciting part of his current "American Playbook" tour.
