THIS needs to be the new response from our side.
Heard 2 people say it so far this hour on CNN. Kristin Urquiza, who spoke at the DNC whose father was a Drumpf supporter and died of Covid, and Dr. Jonathan Reiner.

(32,017 posts)Even if he doesnt do it, we need to say it, because its the right response. Trump lied; Americans died.

(2,474 posts)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, theyll 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 doesnt 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.

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

(9,998 posts)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!"

(7,622 posts)It makes him look bad.
Not that he isnt 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.
