General Discussion

Especially absent a scandal, though one could argue this administration is one big rolling bonfire of a scandal. But more to the point there were calls for Nixon to resign. Clinton to resign. Lesser calls for Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld to resign. That's about it. Now we have a weekly chorus calling for Trump or Vance to resign. Such calls have a moral component on some level, and if political (Clinton's wasn't), they impact political legitimacy. The foundations of the Trump 2 administration are eroding. Political elites are not defeated. They're just afraid to come out of the shadows, or await the most propitious moment.
