Three of them, including Barry Goldwater of Arizona, went to Nixon on August 7, 1974 and told him that for the good of the country he needed to resign.

This year, a much larger delegation of Republican Senators need to go to Trump and tell him that he needs to accept the results of the election. Probably won't happen, because there may not be even one decent Republican Senator right now.
