8. That's the threat he has over the gop...they need to support him or he will resign,

out all of the gop corruption he knows about, split off all his cult members, and doom the party more than it currently is. Moreover, it is possible that if he times he resignation correctly, the party may not have time to put up another candidate in November.

Not bad for most of the country, but not good for current gop leaders in particular.

He has them over such a barrel, that he could demand that he be 'reimbursed' for his time in office before resignation. A buyout -- because he needs some kind of win -- and in return he goes when it benefits the party the most. There are plenty of oligarchs, wealthy gop donors, and conservative organizations that would pony up grift money. Of course, he won't be able to resist telling everyone that he was given a gift of billions of dollars as thanks for a job well done.

Oh...of course part of the resignation deal would be a pardon for him, his kids, and all his friends for any crime they may have committed over the last seven decades.

Either that scenario...or...they have a plan to cheat their way to re-election.
