One of the downsides to Trump having provided a list of potential SC nominees is that it gave the Dems a lot of lead time for opposition research.

Maybe, but that was a necessary risk. Trump needed to do that to prove to voters that he was serious about being conservative by naming conservative judges he'd consider for the courts.

Trump might not have won in 2016 if he had not issued that list.

Trump needed to do that to prove to voters that he was serious about being conservative by naming conservative judges he'd consider for the courts.

Don't disagree with that sentiment, but a new strategy may be needed for the next nominee.

Trump no longer needs to prove he'll choose a conservative, and its now quite clear the left has been looking for dirt on his list of potential nominees since he announced them.

Rather than choose someone the left expects, Trump may need to choose someone not already on their radar to prevent another orchestrated attack.
