8. No, it is best if he doesn't resign

Trump's supporters see themselves as the great majority of the country, and that those who disagree with him are just a radical fringe group. Trump and his supporters need to see him soundly defeated, by the will of the people, at the polls. If he commits political suicide he could claim that he was unfairly hounded out of office by crooked Democrats and become a martyr to the far right.

Trump needs to be beaten, not allowed to slink off to the sewer with the other rats. With Trump in the race, more Americans will come out to vote against him and in the process sending more Republican politicians to political Valhalla.

We have lived with the stupid bastard for three and a half years, we can make it five more months. If Democrats can't defeat this president then we are already a one party system and elections no longer matter.
