I doubt that will be his reaction. Though predicting how Trump will react has proven to be sheer guesswork, he's so often twelve steps ahead.

My guess is that he'll say what he always has said about the matter - I hired the best people I know to compile this list and listened to them.

Her own financial disclosure. Trump's financial disclosure didn't contain the ammo she needed to distract from her own.

This isn't about tax records, go back and read my reply. Her financial disclosure exposed some attack lanes for her opposition. Her opposition's financial disclosure has not. When her finances are used against her the old tried and true response is to distract, by calling for him to release his tax records.

He'll do so, on his own schedule, just as every candidate since 1972 has done.

Trump wasn't working in government when he filed those bankruptcies. Hillary was a part of the government when she was cozying up to Wall Street.

He enlisted the Heritage Foundation to help compile the list. That's a good sign.

Serial liars lie serially. When (if) he actually nominates and then sticks to defending one of these names, that will be a good sign.

He doesn't give blank responses. Just a slew of empty superlatives.

Incidentally, Trump would be smart now to take advantage of a wedge in the Democrat party, and push Hillary to release her short list.

It's a political ploy to make simpletons fall inline with a party, or brainwash the air heads.

BREAKING NEWS
Donald Trump has released a list of potential Supreme Court nominees to help quiet concerns he wouldn’t select conservatives


According to a list obtained by The Associated Press, Mr. Trump’s potential nominees include: Steven Colloton of Iowa; Allison H. Eid of Colorado; Raymond Gruender of Missouri; Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania; Raymond Kethledge of Michigan; Joan Larsen of Michigan; Thomas Lee of Utah; William H. Pryor Jr. of Alabama; David Stras of Minnesota; Diane Sykes of Wisconsin; and Don Willett of Texas.

This to me, is simply Trump marketing himself to fit the moment - it's what he does best:

1] Tap into the GOP anti-establishment/anti-donor class voter discord, by running against the party to secure the nomination.

2] After securing the nomination, Unite the party to secure full GOP support.

3] After uniting the party, move to the middle to pick-up Indies and pick-off the more conservative anti-establishment Bernie babies and blue-dog former Reagan Dems needed to win the Presidency.

It makes sense to me.

So right now, Mr. Trump is in early phase #2.

No, it is part of the vetting process. If you want the American people to make you the most powerful human being on the planet, with power over their lives and the lives of billions of others, your life becomes an open book so we can vet you, first.

I won't believe anything Trump releases, promises, or policy changes until he actually does it. He's too much of a showman and his campaign has been a desperate show of smoke and mirrors. He had to do something to get people to stop talking about his phone calls :lamo

It's a good warning to these 3rd-party NeverTrumpers that there are serious issues at stake, and that they would bear the blame for letting Hillary win and pick the Supreme Court.
