I've anticipated his resignation from the day he was "elected". Once Mueller was on the job, it seemed inevitable that push would indeed come to shove, and he'd quit.

I didn't know (and still don't) whether it would be as the result of knowing he can't survive the investigations and resign of his own accord, or if the GOP would tell him it was quit or be humiliated on the world stage by being impeached. I don't care either way - as long as he's gone.

At this point, Trump's departure is the GOP's only chance to retain any credibility whatsoever. With everything that's been revealed thus far, the Republican PTB now know Trump is going down. Their only option going into 2020 is to talk-up Pence - an upstanding Christian man, bland but scandal-free.

Besides, Trump has always bailed when things weren't going his way. He simply spins his business failures into having been someone else's fault. (Sound familiar?) In addition, I'm sure he believes that unfettered by the restraints of the "pResidency", he'll be free to fight down-and-dirty against the charges against him in state courts - ya know, those jurisdictions where even a pre-made agreement of a presidential pardon have no sway.

Having to resign will kill him - and the humiliation will be on the world stage, not in some NYC boardroom. I so look forward to it.
