The Republican party is in disarray. Mr. Trump's exit now would allow an experienced, capable leader, Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States, to take the helm and get this ship of state back in ship-shape, before it is too late.
This may seem like an extreme suggestion. But it is not unprecedented. It has happened before--a President resigned-- and we got through it, thanks to Gerald Ford and our American resolve to recover and move forward.
If Mr. Trump could find the finesse within himself to graciously step aside, Vice President Pence would be in a position to summon legitimate Republican support from across the American heartland. Our nation would be better equipped, diplomatically, to deal with the rest of the world. Our politics would not be strangled in polarizing extremities.
We working Americans do not want the Democrat party, in its present identity, ruling us. There is presently no Democrat on the horizon who can draw the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy out of their current identity-politics morass. We find no JFK, nor reasoning Jimmy Carter, to satisfy our moderate yearning for realistic, constructive leadership.
Nor do we see any inclination toward balanced leadership in Mr. Trump.
Mr. President, take a helicopter ride from the South Lawn. Wave goodbye and ride into the sunset as former President Nixon did. Then you, being once again a private citizen, would be well-positioned to wheel and deal with the movers and shakers of the world, while we would be free again to just be Americans, instead of deer-in-the-headlights defenders of the that shoot-from-the-hip desperado who somehow dealt himself in the White House.
