Meh.
In the 1980's, Reagan had three SCOTUS appointees: Kennedy, O'Connor and Scalia. Liberals at the time were certain they would overturn Roe v. Wade. It didn't happen.
You never know how things will turn out until they happen.
I think anyone Trump nominates should be considered, but also heavily scrutinized by the Senate. McConnell's defense of "We only postpone during election years" bothers me less than his statement that they would try to "rush through" any appointee. That should be a real concern for everyone, regardless of political ideology.
