Heck, I don't think he'll resign in the first place.

Things change. We have no way today of knowing anything at all about
what their reaction would be after all the water we're talking about
went under the bridge. If they sense it'd be a problem for them to back
Gore, they'd abandon him and lead the charge to kick him out. Gore
succeeding Clinton ain't at all the same as Ford succeeding Nixon.
