Two out of three ain't bad.
It's a miracle that Trump didn't pick GOPe for all three. I'm guessing that Ted Cruz had some input.
Trump's original 11 list (which he announced right at the same time the GOPe threw him their support) sucked bigtime:
Steven M. Colloton - (failed) associate independent counsel on Whitewater.
Allison H. Eid - Former speech writer for Bill Bennett
Raymond W. Gruender - worked as political director for Dole '96 campaign.
Thomas M. Hardiman
Raymond M. Kethledge
Joan L. Larsen
Thomas R. Lee - Mike Lee's brother
William H. Pryor Jr - Removed Justice Roy Moore from the Alabama Supreme Court
David R. Stras - Most of career spent in academia
Diane S. Sykes - True Conservative
Don R. Willett
After lobbying from Ted Cruz and fellow Conservatives at the Heritage Foundation, Trump added Gorsuch's name a month after the GOP Convention.
