If he really wants to set them to a tizzy, he should nominate an evangelical. With two women on the bench already, both relatively young (1954/1960), both Catholic and both liberal, leftists will think of another Catholic woman as a liberal block that will last 20 decades, given the ages of Kagen and SotoMayor.
Evangelicals already look sideways at a Scotus that’s majority Catholic as not relating to the makeup of the population - i.e., non-Catholic. Heavy on their minds is ‘catholic charities/activists that promote immigration, ‘alternate’ lifestyles, class conflict/wealth redistribution and identity politics (generalized, don’t flame me). Trump needs to appoint an evangelical. Then he will get his landslide.

I’ve posted the same thing. (I’d be fine with Cruz, except I heard he doesn’t want it.)
