Hear me out....
Nixon's resignation: Even after the Republicans finally got on board, after the tapes came out and asked him to resign, and BEFORE he could be impeached, the Republicans still lost 40 House seats and 8 Senate seats.
Trump will be impeached. He can't resign after impeachment, though, even if asked, which the Republican Senate will do, so they don't have to go on the record.
Trump faces too many criminal charges once he leaves office. So he's trying to run out the statute of limitations clock by getting re-elected.
Trump will take his chances at trial and try to sway public opinion.
After the actual Senate trial, however, any Senate Republican who does not vote to convict him and remove him from office faces the very real risk that he will lose his Senate seat.
This is all about staying in power. Once Trump is weakened, and can't hurt the Republicans anymore, they will stampede to the mics "to do what's best for the country".
