This is true. USA Today, among many others, called for Bill Clinton to resign when his transgressions were far smaller than Trump’s — and his approval rating was 20 points higher than Trump’s.
No, I don’t think Trump would resign if newspapers said he should. But this is a case in which silence = acquiescence, and media elites are sending a signal to the public that none of this is really that bad.
This was USA Today’s rationale in calling for Bill Clinton’s resignation. Does anyone want to argue it isn’t ten times more applicable to Trump? 
A small man, lacking honesty and integrity? On the best day of his life, Donald Trump could only dream of being described so favorably.
For all you “wait for Mueller” types, this was *before* the Starr report.
Here’s the Hartford Courant 20 years ago. Who wants to argue it doesn’t apply far more today?
The Hartford Courant won’t join you in that argument, by the way — a couple months ago they editorialized that Trump has exceeded the transgressions that led to their call for Clinton resignation. Yet they still wouldn’t say Trump should go.
Believe me when I tell you I could keep going for days.
So where are the calls for Donald Trump’s resignation? Or, if they won’t come, the expressions of regret at having called for Clinton’s?
