Nixon was pressured into resigning by Republicans

Not just for reasons of political expediency but also because it was the right hing to do. It's hard to imagine the slimeballs who make up todays GOP doing the same to Dump unless they get scared enough about their own futures.

Looking at their numbers, calculating their reelection risks, policies they can ram through before they tell him to resign or get the boot...

Unless they throw out a stunning policy like Medicare For All or a $20 an hour wage, how can they possibly weather this for three more years?!
