Even if he doesn’t do it, we need to say it, because it’s the right response. Trump lied; Americans died.

He loses the election he might before January 20th of next year so that Pence can pardon him like Ford did for Nixon.

Make him a disgraced lame duck. Make him lose hugely.

If he resigns, Pence gets an easy glide to potential victory. He plays the Jimmy Swaggart defense, doubly invigorates the Evangelicals, and becomes a formidable candidate. Worse yet, if he has to bail, they’ll likely pick the reasonably good option, Mittens. Then the Lincoln Project switches dudes and becomes a huge last-minute PR for a plausible, undamaged candidate.

Where do some people get their strategy from? It doesn’t matter that it would be satisfying to watch Dump resign just before the election. WINNING the election is what matters.

Unless they can pin something on Pence also and at the same time. We're too close to the election. It would make him look like a sore loser if he resigns after he's lost (we know he is, but his cultists would see it as a weakness).

I say the House needs to write up more Articles of Impeachment ASAP! Let him go down in history as being the only President to be impeached twice.

Other leaders did not know when to resign. They suffered consequences.

They dragged him out of his palace and dispensed Justice on his ass.

The people there were real sick of him and his wife too.

said that if this was a TV show about a President, this would be the episode where he resigns. But not in our current reality.

I know he's not going to resign.

I'm just saying that More people need to be saying it. The next time he does something outrageous, probably tomorrow, and these talking heads get asked what they think, the response should simply be that he "Needs To Resign Now!"

It makes him look bad.

Not that he isn’t already but if enough people say it often enough it will spread and the media will cover it too. Pundits will write about it and good things happen. Even little kids know resign = bad President.
