5. This will sound harsh, but the first pick will be a throwaway.

The Repukes will go full bore against anyone, but if the nominee is an African American woman they will go bezerk. An AA sacrificial lamb would turnout that part of the base, and ease the way for the third or fourth pick to get a vote.

If the president sticks his thumb in the GOP's eye by nominating only AA women, not a single woman would be given the curtesy of a vote, but it would so expose the GOP house and senate for what they are, and would doom their chances for the Whitehouse, the Senate, and possibly even the house.
