Several of his pics - Cruz, Hawley, Cotton - have publicly stated they aren't interested in the appointment. Maybe Trump should have asked them first?
Political officeholders really can't say they'd give up their seat if something better came along. @RedHead It's too risky to say "hey! I'd like that" when you're one of 20 on a list of possible candidates. Actually being nominated is a whole different animal. The list is meant to tell voters POTUS is considering bright constitutionalists who could potentially sit on the court for a generation.
The list was thrown together without a lot of thought. There are plenty of names left on Trump's original list that would make good Supreme Court justices. He should have stuck with that.Besides, Cruz and Hawley and Cotton are not interested in being on the Supreme Court. They all want to be president.
