Actually the first two nominations should be Moore and Cruz.

Another thing that would really throw the Dems into chaos, is if during Trump’s first term, the older conservatives retire and are replaced with young, Strict Constitutional Judges.

The following is also suggested:

Separate Federal from State and Local elections.
Establish a uniform set of rules for Federal Elections across all states and territories.
Electoral College vote by how the voters in their Congressional District voted.
Require government issued photo ID’s (can be driver’s license with citizenship noted on the ID).
Return to one day for voting (a national holiday, suggest the 1st Saturday in November).
Establish strict guidelines for absentee voting.
No third party voter registration
Paper ballots

Then, and only then, maybe we can have faith in the election process.

Trump ran on a list of (good, by all accounts) potential nominees. I love the fact of the list.

The list was a risky move at the time, in the sense that each individual name on it constituted a potential target during the campaign. The more names he put out there - and there are actually two lists he put out - the greater the danger. But the Democrats didn’t attack the list. At all.

Now, assuming Trump honors his campaign promise by sticking to names on his list(s), the Democrats are stuck with a situation in which they "coulda woulda shoulda" attacked at least some of those nominees. As it stands, response to any criticism of a nominee from that list can be, “Why didn’t you use that argument during the campaign??”

If the Trump nominee is on that list, the Democrats' perennial “out of the mainstream” claim will be off the table.

I think that term limits for everybody should be on the table, including Supreme court justices.
