loses the support of the R's in the Senate--as Nixon did in 1974--then he could be persuaded to resign. Could happen. Remember, most mainstream R's didn't support his candidacy until he started winning primaries and they saw which way the wind was blowing. They are not enthusiastic supporters, regardless of what they say.

You are also assuming that all D's would vote as a bloc in an impeachment trial. There is no reason to believe that they would.
