Nobody mentions Breyer.

He'll be 79 this summer.

It's not out of bounds to think that Trump could wind up placing 4 justices in his first term.

If you count Breyer that could make it five Trump selections.

Kennedy and Ginsburg and there were rumors that Thomas was getting tired on the court. With Breyer that makes four more.

Can you imagine the Democrat’s and Hillary’s frustration if Trump gets to name five?

As I said on another thread, that only holds true if Trump retains the Republican Senate majority. If his promises of repeal/replace Obamacare and corporate/personal tax cuts are not kept, the angry left Dems may deep-six his agenda by knocking out a few Pub senators as Trump's base stays home in the midterms due to promises not kept.
