5. Pardon my cynicism.

Things that would have caused other people to never get elected in the first place. Things that would have caused other Presidents to resign in shame have had no effect on this man. Mainly, because of his Republican enablers.

The problem really isn't Trump. It's the Republicans. They no longer stand for anything other than money and power. They will support and use any tool (i.e. Trump) to gain and keep power.

Removing Trump is essential. That is true. But he is merely the logical outcome of the years and years of the GOP break from loyalty to the Constitution to loyalty to money and power.

I will not believe he is gone until I see it with my own eyes. The best thing that could happen is for him to have a final reckoning with his poor lifestyle choices. If he left the office horizontally then he would not be able to rabble-rouse his cult against the new President. Which he will do once he is out of office. He relishes the attention too much.
