Democrats in Congress don't have a plan

I am shocked that Democrats in Congress don't have a plan (at least not yet) to really hold Republicans accountable for their support of Donald Trump.  They should circulate a petition that says "Good judgement is a part of being a good elected official.  I believe Donald Trump will be an excellent President and I support all of his Cabinet nominations.  When he is a great President, I want everyone to know that I supported him.  If he turns out to be a disaster, than my judgement is clearly poor and perhaps I am not fit for this position." Of course it could be written better, but there is no negative to this, even if Republicans don't sign it.  Unless Trump is great, but this really wouldn't change anything in that case either.  Democrats need to make a strong association that every Republican who supports Trump's nominees for executive orders is the same a Trump.  That they are "putting party above country".  Likewise, democrats need to get every Republican on the record either supporting or non supporting every questionable decision.  Do they support the firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates?  Yates is probably going to sue over this and if she wins, as many people as possible should be accountable.  Likewise is the travel restrictions are deemed illegal, Trump will have fired a person who refused to enact a regulation that was illegal (which is her responsible and obligation to do).  This goes the same with the Executive Orders.  If Trump fails, Democrats can really leverage that to try and take back Congress.  If he succeeds, than you can bet the Republicans will do everything they can to increase their majority.
