If anything, that's an argument to NOT stop for the reasons I already explained. #ZeusLogic No, it's every informed person's logic. Under no scenario does resigning improve his situation, it could only hurt him. Therefore, he HAS to stay in office and ride things out. I'm sure things would have been better for Nixon if he had stayed in office and never gotten his pardon. Overlooking that Nixon arguably had complicity after the fact by choosing to shield his staffers even if he didn't order it, it's still a terrible analogy because Trump is completely innocent. More importantly, Nixon didn't have a fucking empire built on his name which is vulnerable to a bad reputation. But sure, pretend that they're exactly the same. Except a lot of people he worked with or ripped off sort of killed that already. Then there's Trump University... Except for the fact that none of those incidents were this high-profile and the so-called "rip-offs" are generally murky. As for Trump U, the entire basis of the complaint was Trump's non-involvement in the course. All he ultimately did was lend his name to individuals who ran the thing and gave him a cut. Which isn't to say that he doesn't have some culpability, but it's more on the basis of false advertising where he claimed involvement he clearly didn't have. More importantly, the little cases against him never stuck; clearly if anybody took those claims seriously, people wouldn't work with him. And people are already forgetting Trump University, which didn't reflect badly on his real estate anyway which is the bulk of the value to his name whereby simply putting his name on a building -- even without anything else -- gives value. If he was publicly known as a traitor - PARTICULARLY if he resigned and was pardoned, which strongly suggests guilt -- that shit would lose value faster than you could say "Benedict Arnold Resort and Spa." --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:879325285] in Odds of Tr...
