(6,324 posts)Trump resigning this early gives them way too much chance at damage control and to try and field a viable candidate in 2020.
The GOP's absolute best case scenario is Trump resigning soon to give them 3 years to rebuild, change image, and field a candidate.
I would much rather him stay in office being whacko and blowing the GOP's chances in 2018 and 2020.
It's all to our advantage to keep him around at this point. If he resigned now we don't gain any power, Pence still controls the executive and conceivably he is smart enough and devious enough to do more damage to us in the next 3 years while not damaging the GOP daily like Trump does.
I don't think they have a chance anyway in 2020- but a Trump led ticket has zero chance in 202 while a Pence-Haley or Pence-Ryan or Pence-Scott ticket would have better odds than anything with the Trump name on it. 3 years is a long, long time in electoral politics and by then voters outside our base will he tired of Trump talk if he resigns now.
