I am with @RuthMarcus on this one. The secret to containing Trump is triggering real Congressional oversight. The key to that for now is peeling away key Republicans from the reflexive support of Trump and in the near future is driving Dem victories.
If resignations sent message that Trump cannot and should not be supportive, if those who resigned vocally explained the reasons for their resignation, it could advance both goals. Empty gestures are of course, useless. But so too are most advisors to a POTUS who won't listen.
He is a loose cannon who can only be contained by effective oversight from the other branches of government. I should add it is key to the survival of the GOP that people of principle break with Trump and show that is an acceptable, indeed, essential and principled path.
