Of the 4 or so we have it supposedly narrowed down to - Results (8 votes)
Hardiman
12.5% (1 vote)
1
Barrett
25% (2 votes)
2
Kavanaugh
12.5% (1 vote)
1
Kethledge
12.5% (1 vote)
1
Other
37.5% (3 votes)
3
Of these choices, Barrett has the lowest chance of actually being nominated and currently it looks like Hardiman is working his way up the rankings.

Hardiman would be a great Justice regardless of who nominated him, in my opinion. He's more business oriented than liberals would like, but he doesn't rule with his emotions like social conservatives would. If Trump picks him, I'd say he made a good decision.

Also, another tidbit of interest. News has reported on interviews between the president and all these picks except Hardiman. Given Trump's flair for the theatrical and wanting a reality show reveal, I think this gives Hardiman the edge as Trump was hoping to hide his intentions that way.

Why do you act as though Trump would treat this like some sort of game or a piece of entertainment as opposed handling it with seriousness and dignity?

I don't think it will be Kavanaugh, simply because he has the longest track record and worked in the Bush administration. Mitch McConnell doesn't seem to want him, either: perhaps his staff found something that could drag out his nomination process?(that, or he's trying to use reverse-psychology on Trump).
Basically, McConnell most likely wants a candidate who is A) Reliably conservative and B) Quick to confirm(i.e. not a whole big career to go over). He would love to get some vulnerable Democratic senators to vote for the nominee too, to give cover to his own vulnerable senators.

Based on that, Hardiman or Kethledge. I see absolutely no reason why Hardiman wouldn't get some Democrat votes. Barrett would be a mess though.

He should nominate Karl Urban as Dredd. Crime rates and illegals are reaching overwhelming numbers never witnessed before.

Also Hardiman has come recommended by Trump's sister. We all know how Trump feels about nepotism.

If by overwhelming you mean lowering the decade then yes overwhelming.

Of course stats don't matter fearmongering does. If you can make people fear a growing crime rate when it's actually shrinking you win.

Hardiman wasn't on the short list, though, was he?

I believe he was, yes.

Everyone subs to Ivy.

I thought Trump's short list just consisted of Kethledge, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

I might have missed something, though

He should do that under the assumption that democrats will complain anyway. Then watch as they accept judge S. J. Doubleu and Trump is stuck with shim.

Quoting for posterity, 'cause I'm dumb.
Kavanaugh has ~0% of going Souter on them, unfortunately. He may not straight-up over-turn Roe v. Wade, either, but then that's fools gold for pro-lifers anyhow.
