Doesn't he believe he is the one to save America? Also, could he be one of the few GOP senators that the Russians don't have much on? I don't know much about him.

Trump does not. Any Senator suggesting resignation would be publicly humiliated. There is only one way to deal with Trump. They must convict and remove. Otherwise they will be telling the public that this kind of behavior is ok.

Really, it's over for Trump. He is finally being treated like he deserves. No one is loyal to him because he is loyal to no one.

What we are seeing is the tip of the iceberg. From here on in it only gets worse for Trump.

From wiki

Scott was one of the three Republican leaders in Congress to meet Nixon in the Oval Office of the White House to tell Nixon that he had lost support of the party in Congress, on August 7, 1974. The meeting came the day before Nixon would announce his resignation from the presidency. The delegation was led by senior party leader and Arizona Senator Goldwater and also included House Minority Leader John Jacob Rhodes (R-Arizona). The erosion of Nixon's support had progressed after the June 1972 Watergate break-in.[24]
