Just resign Mr Trump.

For once in your life, do something for someone other than yourself, in this case this country. The issues of the entire planet are in desperate need of attention right now, and this long running episode of a reality show needs to end.
You'll always have that loyalty of at least a third of this country, so you still get to have your ego needs filled rather than hold the rest of us hostage.

A President Pence almost seems like a good idea right now.

we could tolerate him up until January when the Blue Wave House and Mueller then work on his involvement to get rid of him.

Mueller would have 0 concerns over pardons or impeachment votes and go straight for the throat.

The presidency is the only thing shielding drumpf from prison at this point

He resigns. No family gets indicted. He doesn't get indicted. He signs a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits him from discussing his presidency for 5 years.

This agreement does not prohibit states from indicting him or anyone else.

based on the fact that the crimes are so numerous, out in the daylight, involves his family...not that he cares about any of them but they do have the goods and would flip on him in a minute, as well...Aides have and continue to spill their (oops, again) information. The longer he continues, the less of his money and property he will maintain. The Trump Organization...the main funding arm...CFO has flipped and his kids and intimately involved. I doubt it's scamming in more donors, but the deeds that were done, likely led to funding his presidency.

I think that somehow the Republican Party will find a way to play him...with or without his understanding...and convince him to resign with a Winning ! script. Otherwise, the party is destroyed...totally. Hundreds of people are shaking in their boots now, more than ever. Mueller does not care what the offense...include "mere" lying...he's going after every single one of them for every criminal offense possible.

He'll never do anything that looks like he's admitting he's wrong. Born with a silver spoon AND he has a chip on his shoulder.

you don't really think he won those primaries without help, do you? Then he took office when he knew he didn't deserve it.

He sullied the name and image of the US! He insulted leaders of friendly allies, he threatens to lock up his political foes!

He's fat, he's ugly and he's an embarrassment! He MUST do time!

By the by, how much of this Russian involvement stuff did Pence know about? Should he share a cell with Trump?!?!

12. Be careful what you wish for, because you and the rest of us might get it.

I think we want to run against a weak and battered Trump rather than a Pence who would already pardoned him and everybody else.

And that tenth of the country, those tens of millions of Trumpsters, won't be going anywhere.
There's no point in making a martyr out of Trump when I'd rather see him get what Ali called a Floyd Patterson humiliation beating. Nothing of what Mueller finds is not going to be a slam dunk and over quickly because Trump can keep it going in the court for a long time and in the end the Supreme Court will be his ace in the hole.
