He absolutely should resign. Even as Republican you should understand that being a traitor to your country is bad.

Republicans don't see it that way - they think that everything they do to wrench power away from Democrats is patriotic and unambiguously good.[/quote]

And this is the difference between the Republican party of today and the Republican Party as it existed at the time of Watergate.  When Watergate occurred, there were principled leaders in the Republican party who valued the democratic ideals of America vs. partisan power.  They were willing to turn on Nixon for the good of the country, even though it meant that the Republican party lived in the political wilderness for slightly more than 5 years until the rise of Reagan.  The Republican Party today is controlled predominantly by white men (with a few white women as accomplices) who value holding power above all else, even if the result is a one-sided authoritarian state.[/quote]
