an onslaught of new revelations, and high level resignations for the next several days, he’s gonna have to resign. The chaos will be such that he won’t be able to maneuver at all anymore, and he’ll have to quit. Specially if Rudy doesn’t STFU, lol!

He's not going to resign. That's the same as giving up and admitting defeat very publicly. I don't see him doing it anytime soon - if at all. Slim, slim chance he does it to allow Pence to pardon him.

Plus, once out of office he knows more problems arise.

He put to much light on him with his White House tenure.

The only way Trump decides to bow out is if he realizes he may actually be removed from office. That isn't likely to happen. Most the GOP have circled their wagons around him. Until that support disappears, he's safe.

Unfortunately. He knows what awaits when he no longer has that office protecting him. He'll hang on to the presidency with a death grip.

There's more on the secret server, public support for impeachment is exploding, Fox is imploding, and the rats will soon desert the sinking ship. I expect McConnell to make his Goldwater speech to Trump by Halloween.

and 99% chance McConnel will not hold the impeachment file. So what's going to be plan c? All in for Nov 2020. With the greatest turnout percentage in history to remove trump and GOP from power
That is the only plan left.

We best be planning it.

... today published an editorial which basically declared disgust with tRump.
I think this might be the first time since it began publishing in 1889 that
it has been critical of any republikan.
Hell, when Nixon resigned, the paper was laudatory.
When Reagan was gunrunning and drug smuggling the paper was leading
the charge for his sainthood.

Believe me, if The Daily Oklahoman goes after a republikan pResident, we may be seeing
the End Times, The Second Coming of Christ, and Hell freezing over. I kid you not!!

And they never, ever take accountability

Maybe if the GOPers got together and offered him a buyout/early retirement?

Trump will not resign - he cannot. Trump will not resign lest he lose protection against prosecution. Besides which, I suspect he still doesn't believe he is in trouble. When everyone on the White House has resigned, he will remain and tweeting twenty-four hours a day.

This will have to be fought to the bitter end.

................I never expected,no never expected an Afro-American President in my lifetime.
................I never expected to have a machine that equals or surpasses "Beam Me Up Scotty" machine
................I never expected to own a car that has all kinds of computers...one that warns you if
..........someone is walking past you as you back up(with a live TV picture as I back up

................I never expected to have discs in the basement with at least 30 of my vary favorite movies
................that I can slide into a machines that will show me the movie. Anytime, any day
................I never expected to recover from health problems that 60 years ago would have killed me.
................I never expected to have a player that plays music of my collection that I can start and stop
................ using a remote devise, and make the music louder and softer with that devise
................I never expected to have immediate access to all the information that is in almost any
...............library if I can figure out how to connect to it. (which is not real hard I have been told)
................I never expected to meet people on this " Beam Me Up Scotty"machine that I am using now,
.......... Also, I could get to know and care about people that live thousands of miles.away.
...........like people here at Democratic Underground..
