Unfortunately the Republican strategy for a while has been voting with courts in mind. When the only thing you care about is appointing judges, the game becomes "our team at all costs"
It's a winning play in a first-past-the-post voting system. I don't see it changing without voting reform.
Literally any Republican would shove conservative justices in the court, so that doesn't explain the fixation on Trump at all.
Meanwhile, the left believes pragmatism is a dirty word for some reason.
