Who does McConnell think Clinton will appoint to the Supreme Court?

He is absolutely dedicated to making sure the next President makes the choice - why is he so keen to have Clinton make the choice? Obviously Republicans are not going to win the Presidency - they cannot even control their own Primaries.

Don't know who he's expecting, but by that time she can say, "The people have spoken, so I pick Elizabeth Warren... so there"!
Clinton backers who tout their "realism" need to get real about how she'll handle the shitstorm coming from Trump by Steve Almond
But if Donald Trump is the nominee, as seems most likely right now, he will also enjoy two genuine lines of attack against Hillary.
The first is the same one Bernie just used to upset her in Michigan: the fact that free trade pacts are wildly unpopular with many Americans. Trump has been full-throated (and, as usual, somewhat full of ****) in his condemnation of free trade, and it has been one of his most successful pitches. You can bet your bottom yen that he’ll hammer Hillary on this, as if she personally whipped votes for NAFTA. He’ll excoriate various forms of crony capitalism (deals cut with big pharma, bogus military contracts, etc.) that Democrats such as Hillary either endorsed or enabled through timidity. And he’ll blast her for backing our trillion-dollar boondoggle in Iraq too.
These accusations will be framed in terms of a larger narrative: that Hillary represents business as usual in Washington, that she’s just another career pol beholden to the donor class and to the Wall Street swells who paid her millions to deliver her secret speeches
