I have to admit when I first started reading this I had already made up my mind Trump would never resign. But you made some real good points. He is not going to do it yet but if it looks like things are going down for him I could see this happening. It is the only way he can keep from looking like a loser.

Boston Globe:
When you have a president so completely immune from shame; and when he is enabled by a political party so infected by partisanship that “winning” is more important than acknowledging wrongdoing and holding leaders accountable, the idea of a selfless political act has become almost laughably antiquated.

Perhaps the most dispiriting element of the whistle-blower’s complaint is that multiple individuals around the president — all of whom swore an oath to uphold the Constitution — appear to have understood he committed a grave abuse of power, and then went to great lengths to cover it up. The heroism of the whistle-blower is sadly matched by the cowardice of Trump’s enablers.

Democrats are, of course, right to call for Trump’s impeachment. Same goes for the nation’s editorial boards. But are they so inured to the president’s unending malfeasance, corruption, and law-breaking that they can’t make the obvious call for resignation?

Trump should of course step down. He should have done it a long time ago. It’s not a close call. Stating that publicly is not an example of partisan bomb-throwing, rather it’s the precise opposite: a principled recognition that some things are more important than politics.

Trump is trapped and he knows it. His only hope is if the Dems somehow manage to screw this whole process up by getting full of themselves and failing to handle it with the seriousness that it MUST be handled. Nancy Pelosi is the only person on Capitol Hill that I have any confidence in.

Like Trump, Nixon was a deeply flawed man. Really mucked up inside. But unlike Trump:

[Nixon was incredibly experienced before he came into office. He knew the way the government worked and he had an incredible intellectual curiosity. Nixon was a congressman, he was a senator, he was vice president for Eisenhower for eight years, he was the Republican nominee in 1960, failed, then lost to John F. Kennedy before becoming president himself in 1968. ] – Historian Mark Updegrove, CEO of the LBJ Foundation in Austin, Texas

Simply put: Nixon was an intelligent man. And at least, on some level, he could at times, be a rational and reasonable man. Trump is NONE of that.

So will he or won’t he resign? Lord, only, knows.

Unlike Nixon, Trump has benefited greatly from a weapon Nixon did NOT have: “a powerful conservative media ecosystem.” However, like Nixon, Trump has benefited from the majority of Americans NOT being supportive of impeachment. That is….until now:

Those two benefits APPEAR to be slipping away:

2. Poll: Majority of Americans say impeachment inquiry into Trump is necessary

Washington (CNN) A majority of Americans {now} say they think Congress opening an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is necessary, according to a CBS News poll released Sunday.

The poll, conducted by YouGov, shows 55% of Americans think the newly-opened probe necessary, while 45% of Americans think it unnecessary. […]- CNN, Sept. 29, 2019
