And that is how Trump is putting pressure on Clinton and Sanders to name their choices for the bench. It's one-upmanship and forces them to play cards they would both prefer to hold close to their respective vests.
A good chess move on Trump's part.
Pryor and Sykes, who he had mentioned by name in a debate, are on the list.
And he’s winning the media news cycle again ;)

Indeed.Yet ANOTHER brilliant chess move by Trump! Trump keeps forcing Hillary to play Trump’s game, and Trump’s game is ALWAYS a win-win strategy for himself and a lose-lose strategy for his opponent.
In this case, Hillary is screwed whether she names justices or doesn’t. If she doesn’t, she’s the one that gets painted as being secretive, nefarious, and incapable of being Presidential. If she does, then the whole world gets to the see exactly what kind of communist scum she has in mind to destroy what remains of the Constitution.
Trump has already played this exact move with his earlier foreign policy announcement, which forces Hillary to take a stand one way or the other on each of Trump’s foreign policy points and defend her position for taking the opposite stance. This is on the back burner for now, but it’s going to come back and bite her in the ass big time, especially in the Presidential debates.
