This is a good move. But this also gives the Left targets to perform “drive-by’s”.

"The vow marked a rare moment of acknowledgment by Trump that he could be doing more to appease those in his party opposed his candidacy.

From the article, written by girls at the AP, showing their bias and unwillingness to just be reporters of the news, as if we'd hadn't already noticed.

Diane Sykes was married to Trump-hating radio talk show blatherer Charlie Sykes, but had the good sense to divorce him in 1999, so I think the statute of limitation has run out on that indiscretion.

Congress should amend the Judiciary Act of 1869 to allow for 15 justices.

Diane Sykes and David Stras would be my top two choices. I’d also be intrigued by law professor Viet Dihn.

Good group. Dump the ones in their 50’s, there are plenty in their 40’s. This is a long term strategy to not allow any democratic president put a Supreme Court for at least 35 years.

Good for Donald! He passed my litmus test since there are no candidates from the 9th Circuit Cour of Appeals!

Patriots note that you need to support Trump’s list of potential justices by electing a new Senate that will approve Trump-nominated justices.

In fact, I wish that Trump would let us know what he thinks about incumbent and candidate senators for the November elections.

In case there are any “Never Trump” conservatives left out there, this should bring them onboard with Mr. Trump.
